In consideration on lack of correlation between radiological pictures and patient's neurological state the diagnostics was extended for 3D CT. CT revealed the presence of development defect of spine. Conducted diagnostics and rehabilitation permitted for improvement of patient's state as well as settlement of principles for further procedures. The necessary verification of diagnosis and diagnostics of patients during inpatient and ambulatory rehabilitation shouldn't be sensation but should constitute standard in contracts with National Health Fund.
