On the afternoon of January 8, Mr. Li, who lives in the Yuhua District of Changsha, Hunan Province, picked up his 3-year-old son Han Han (pseudonym) to play "Riding Neck" to visit the mall, because the child accidentally slipped off due to twisting, and his whole body fell directly to the ground with his head back, and he was urgently sent to the emergency department of Changsha Central Hospital (Changsha Central Hospital affiliated to the University of South China). After examination, the child was diagnosed with a fracture of the temporal parietal bone on the right side, scalp hematoma, and intracranial gas accumulation, and after active treatment, the child has now turned the corner.
It is understood that on January 8, Mr. Li's family took their children out to play, and 3-year-old Han Han could not walk for a few hours after playing. Mr. Li, the father, lifted the child up and rode on his neck. After walking for a while, the child may have seen something interesting, released his father's hand, leaned back instantly, accidentally slipped off his father's shoulder, and hit the ground. The wife on the side quickly picked up the child to comfort her, found that the child had nosebleeds, and said that her head was very painful, so she immediately drove to the hospital for treatment.
"When the child is admitted to the hospital, a mass about 5×5 cm in size can be reached on the top of the right temporal cavity, with a small amount of bleeding in the nasal cavity, accompanied by headache symptoms. After the emergency cranial CT examination for the child, it was found that the right temporal parietal bone fracture, scalp hematoma, and intracranial gas accumulation were considered to be caused by a fall in the head, and we immediately asked pediatric neurosurgery experts to consult and admitted the traumatic brain injury to the pediatric intensive care unit. According to the doctor, after symptomatic treatment such as hemostasis, brain protection, cranial pressure reduction, and maintenance of water-electrolyte balance, the child recovered well and is currently undergoing post-observation and rehabilitation treatment in the hospital's pediatric intensive care unit.
"The head is the 'life center' of a person, and a head fall cannot be judged by trauma alone, even if there is no obvious trauma and bleeding, it cannot be ignored." According to doctors, some intracranial injuries are likely to be asymptomatic at first, but 3-6 hours and 72 hours after the fall are the risk periods for late-onset intracranial hemorrhage, so it may be too late to wait until the symptoms appear. It is recommended that parents should be sent to the hospital in time after the child falls on the head, it is worth noting that even if the first admission to the hospital to check the head CT shows normal, they should also follow the doctor's advice, and re-examine the head CT again 3-6 hours and 72 hours after the injury, and then discharge after the observation period has passed.
Doctors remind the majority of parents, usually at home with children to interact, to pay more attention to safety, prevention is the key, like "riding a high horse" this game, if the parents slip or the center of gravity is unstable, or the child is too excited, active, there may be no way to catch the child, resulting in the child falling, resulting in child head, body injury. While accompanying their children's growth, parents should try to stay away from parent-child games that contain risk factors to avoid accidents.
