The medical team at Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam succeeded in saving a patient from complete paralysis who was suffering from severe back pain and could not move without a wheelchair.

Immediately upon the patient’s arrival at the hospital, Dr. Fadi Farouk, consultant spine surgeon, performed an MRI and CT scan of the lumbar vertebrae, which showed that the patient was suffering from severe inflammation of the vertebrae with a fracture of the spine. He then decided on minimally invasive surgery to reattach the spine and clean up the infection.

The patient was able to recover completely and was able to return to his normal life after he was unable to walk without a wheelchair.

It is worth noting that this type of operation depends on modern medical technology, which is in line with the vision of Mouwasat Medical Services Company in attracting competencies and precise sub-specialties by using the latest technologies and advanced medical equipment in this field.

Dammam – Mouwasat Hospital 

With the grace of Allah, the Neurosurgery Department at Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam successfully performed a high‑risk and rare microsurgical procedure to remove a large skull base tumor measuring more than 5 cm in the posterior cranial fossa, using the latest advanced neurosurgical technologies. 

Case Details and Diagnosis 

A 44‑year‑old female patient was referred to Mouwasat Hospital from another healthcare facility. Comprehensive clinical evaluation and advanced imaging revealed a large tumor located at the skull base, close to critical neurological centers—necessitating an urgent and highly precise surgical intervention due to its sensitive location. 

Microsurgical Tumor Removal 

The surgery was performed under the supervision of Dr. Omar Al‑Falaki, Consultant Neurosurgeon
with the support of a specialized multidisciplinary surgical team. 

The tumor was completely resected using: 

  • A high‑resolution surgical microscope 
  • An advanced surgical navigation system 
  • Continuous intraoperative motor function monitoring (IONM) 

The procedure lasted more than 10 continuous hours, ensuring accurate and safe removal of the tumor while preserving surrounding neurological functions. 

Postoperative Rehabilitation 

Following surgery, the patient underwent an intensive rehabilitation program at the hospital’s Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Center. By the grace of Allah, she made a remarkable recovery, regaining full mobility and returning to her family to resume her daily life normally.
