The "star" on the head of a three-year-old girl is not a sticker or hairpin, because the child's accidental fall is embedded in the skull is a solid magnetic nail!
The girl was taken to Shanghai Children's Hospital and removed after emergency surgery. The girl escaped from danger smoothly and has now left the surgical intensive care unit and returned to the general ward.
On the afternoon of January 6, when the little girl was admitted to the emergency department of Shanghai Children's Hospital, the receiving doctor thought that the child was wearing a beautiful star hair ornament on his head.
According to the parents of the child, in the morning, the girl fell from the bed during a fight with another big child at home, and happened to hit a magnetic nail with the handle facing upwards, that is, this "star".
After CT examination, it was found that the "star" smashed the child's skull, plunging into the brain about 1.3 cm, causing a dent fracture of the left parietal bone and extraceranial hemorrhage, and puncturing the meninges, almost damaging the functional area of the brain. The child cried incessantly, but fortunately there was no mental disorder.
After discussion, the team of Liu Jiangang, the head of the neurosurgery department of the Children's Hospital, decided to take a plan that was less invasive for the child to remove the foreign body. The broken tissue is removed, the skull is reduced and depressed, the bone plate is also reassigned and fixed with an absorbable fracture internal fixator. The operation lasted nearly 5 hours, but after the cooperation of neurosurgery, operating room and surgical intensive care unit, the star was successfully "picked". The child recovered well after the operation, and today he has been transferred out of the intensive care unit and returned to the general ward, and the child's limb movement is good.
Children's skin, muscles and bone tissues are relatively weak, the ability to protect the nervous system is naturally relatively weak, and in the case of the same degree of injury, it is easier to damage nerve tissue and have sequelae. Dr. Zhan Qijia of the Department of Neurosurgery of Children's Hospital said that when children are over three years old, they must give their children some daily safety education, and parents can use their own practical actions to show them, teach them the correct way of behavior, teach them how to protect themselves, especially the head, and reduce the occurrence of accidental injuries.
Children can choose to wear lightweight anti-collision protective helmets during daily activities, and anti-collision devices can be pasted on the corners of the home or sharp furniture surfaces, which can greatly reduce the probability of being injured at home. Before practicing dance and before sports, children should be warmed up, and the probability of accidents in physical activity is relatively low.
