Foreign bodies in children's respiratory tract and digestive tract are very common, and as everyone knows, there are many foreign bodies on the face! Recently, a 4-year-old boy was bruised in the face by the head of a ballpoint refill. Sadly, the ballpoint refill has a head length of 3 centimeters, an embedding depth of 2 centimeters, and a position close to the nasal tear pipe, which has been on the face of the little boy for 10 days before it is removed.
This is a case of a child with a facial foreign body that was not treated in time by the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao Binhai University recently. According to the parents of the children, the child was stabbed in the face by a ballpoint pen 10 days before visiting the Qingbin Affiliated Hospital, and did not do any treatment at that time, ran to several surrounding hospitals and said that there was no way to dispose of it, and then came to the Qingbin Affiliated Hospital for treatment after being introduced by acquaintances. CT examination showed a foreign body nearly 3 cm long under the orbit and on the side of the nasal bone, with a subcutaneous depth of about 2 cm. Due to the special location of the foreign body, it is very easy to cause damage to tissues such as nasolacrimal ducts, so the difficulty of surgery is greatly increased.
In order to minimize the risk of surgery, Sun Zhihui, the chief surgeon and attending physician of the Department of Stomatology, invited Gao Jinmei, chief physician of the Department of Ophthalmology, to consult and made detailed preoperative preparations. "The biggest difficulty in this operation is the localization of foreign bodies, which is also the strength of Chief Physician Gao Jinmei, which gave me great help in the whole operation." Dr. Sun Zhihui said. In the end, the pediatric facial foreign body removal was successfully completed with the full cooperation of Chief Physician Gao Jinmei and Attending Physician Sun Wenliang of the Department of Anesthesiology. When a complete ballpoint refill head was presented in front of everyone's eyes, everyone present was shocked, afraid, and inhaled a cool breath. Fortunately, after careful care, the little boy has recovered and been discharged from the hospital.
To this end, the doctor reminds that facial foreign bodies are one of the more common pediatric acute diseases, mostly caused by the accidental insertion of sharp objects into the face, and children need to seek medical treatment in time for this situation. Some children have improper parental handling, and some foreign bodies remain in the affected area cannot be seen clearly through the naked eye, and the difficulty of removing foreign bodies in this case will be greatly increased. Now that it is the school season, parents should increase their advice and care, and be vigilant against the occurrence of emergencies such as foreign bodies in children's faces, digestive tracts, and respiratory tracts.
