This case report demonstrates ‘the first show phenomenon’ following regentime stem cell therapy applied to a spinal cord injury patient. A 40 years old gentleman sustained a ballistic injury at the level of T9, resulting in complete bilateral motor and sensory loss from T9 and below. He was treated with autologous bone marrow derived mononuclear stem cells injected into his spinal canal 2.5 years after his injury. Follow up during the first week post transplantation showed early symptom improvement termed “the first show post phenomenon”. He regained sensation to light touch in his lower limbs by the end of week 1 and reported no serious implications or complications.
