This case report highlights the rehabilitation outcomes of a 24-year-old female who received inadvertent intrathecal digoxin during a routine cesarean section, leading to encephalomeningitis, vestibulocochlear neuritis, and incomplete paraplegia. Despite initial neurological deficits, the patient demonstrated significant improvement in both cognition and functional mobility during a one-month inpatient rehabilitation program, ultimately achieving ambulation with assistive devices. This case underscores the potential for rehabilitation of neurological sequela following accidental intrathecal digoxin administration.
