Full text not available from this repository.Aim: Functional recovery following injury to the primary motor cortex is an uncommon phenomenon, given the limited ability of neurons of the adult central nervous system to regenerate. Case description: We report on a patient with near complete functional muscle strength recovery from a marked monoparesis due to nail gun injury to the medial primary motor cortex. Besides surgical decision-making, we discuss possible related mechanisms and current challenges in the regenerative processes responsible for the functional recovery. Discussion: To achieve a favorable outcome, surgical decision-making to prevent secondary damage is of upmost importance. Lesion-induced inflammatory response may potentiate endogenous neurogenesis and neuronal plasticity and potentially contribute to the regenerative process involved.
