After 2 days of surgery, the brain injury was healed but still showed the swelling and damage at the T 4 . Physical examination shows that below the level of injury reflex activity was not shown by the Jimmy and his blood pressure was also low. After few days of the surgery the exaggerated reflexes was observed in the lower limbs. He also got incontinent. To determine: The reason for hyper-reflexiveness and incontinency of the patient.
