- Clinical evidence of a non-progressive motor disability due to brain dysfunction. The subjects will not have the ability to sit independently by one year of age or the ability to walk by 18 months of age.
- Willing to comply with all study procedures.
- The patients must be seizure-free or seizures adequately controlled. If there is a suspicion of seizures and EEG should be done prior to inclusion.

2. Presence of obstructive hydrocephalus.
3. Presence of progressive neurological disease.
4. Presence of known chromosomal anomaly
5. Presence of major congenital anomaly
6. Evidence of illness on planned infusion date (such as but not limited to fever >38.5, vomiting, diarrhea, wheezing, or crackles)

Name Time Method After discharge, patients will have follow-up examinations to assess their clinical status and to review their current medication. 1. Clinical improvement will be defined as a decrease in the specific symptom and/or lesions. 2. Safety and tolerability, assessed by adverse events 3. Quality of life 4. Neuropyschological tests to assess the IQ in these children. 5. Appropriate tests to record Renal function tests, Liver function tests at the end of the study.Timepoint: 3,6, 9, 12 months
