A 6-year-old and 2-month-old girl in Ningxiang, Hunan Province, was accidentally hit on the head by her brother with a stick a year ago, when a bag was swollen on the back of the right ear, and the parents did not care, thinking that there was no major problem after the swelling was reduced. After the swelling is reduced, there is still a lump behind the ear, and recently parents have found that the lump has a tendency to grow bigger and bigger, and it is abnormally pulsating to touch, so they rush to the hospital for treatment.
Parents told reporters that after the child was thrown into the ear by the pump, there was no obvious abnormality, until the recent discovery that the lump behind the child's ear has not been eliminated, and it is getting bigger and bigger, which has aroused vigilance.
Huang Wenya, deputy chief physician of the Department of Vascular Interventions, Hunan Children's Hospital: Physical examination found that there is a mass protruding from the surface of the skin behind the right ear, the skin temperature is increased, there are arterial fluctuations in the touch, and the diagnosis is very clear according to the medical history and physical examination, considering a traumatic arteriovenous fistula.
The doctor said that the blood supply of this mass is very rich, the positioning is also very clear, if it is not blocked, the fistula will become larger and larger, and the lump will grow larger and larger, which will eventually lead to right heart failure. Fortunately, the doctor performed transarterial embolization for the child in time, and at present, the child's symptoms have disappeared and he has been discharged safely.
Huang Wenya, deputy chief physician of the Department of Vascular Interventional Medicine, Hunan Children's Hospital: The mass caused by trauma or other reasons is getting larger and larger, and the skin temperature is high or there is a feeling of arterial fluctuations to the touch, which is a situation that requires early medical treatment.
