Quadriplegia is a condition caused by illness or injury that results in the partial or total loss of use of all four limbs. There was both sensory and motor deficit, which means that both sensation and control are lost. Quadriplegia is a symptom of many conditions and problems affecting your brain or spinal cord. Many of these problems and situations are dangerous. Quadriplegia is caused by damage to the brain or the spinal cord at a high-level C1âC7, in particular, spinal cord injuries secondary to an injury to the cervical spine. Here we present a case of a 40-year-old male patient who is a known alcoholic with no other comorbidities and was asymptomatic before, he suddenly he felt weakness in the bilateral upper limb and lower limb, urine, and bowel incontinence associated with being unable to sit for even less than 1 minute after falling from the bike and was diagnosed as Traumatic Quadriplegia. The case was diagnosed as Sarvangavata (Vata affecting all body parts) based on the clinical presentation of Traumatic Quadriplegia. He was treated with Agnilepa chikitsa (Topical application) for seven days, considering ama. After that, he was treated according to Vatavyadhi chikitsa principles (Treatment of Vata vyadhi) which included Sarvanga abhyanga (Anointing medicated oil to all body parts) followed by Dashamoola kashaya seka (Pouring medicated decoction), Nasya (Nasal instillation), Shashtika shali pinda sweda, (Sudation with rice bolus dipped in milk and decoction) and Matra basti (Unctous Enema). Following the treatment, there was a notable improvement, with a SCIM SCORE from 14 to 56.
