The two-year-old boy was inserted into the head by a fire poker nearly 5 cm, the head is the central system of the human, once the consequences of injury are unimaginable. 22 noon, Yongshun a naughty boy playing at home, accidentally fell by the fire poker poked from the left cheek, straight to the head. On the day of the incident, the boy was rushed to Xiangya Hospital, the hospital’s neurosurgery department with a wealth of clinical experience, in the absence of open cranium, overnight the residual metal in the child’s head successfully pulled out. The attending doctor, Associate Professor Li Xuejun, said the child’s condition is stable and he will be discharged in a few days. The fire pliers were inserted into the head of the 2-year-old boy Li Xuejun of the Department of Neurosurgery at Xiangya Hospital of Central South University The naughty child is called Xiaohu, from Yongshun County, Hunan. When the reporter saw him in the Xiangya Hospital 39 ward, the little guy left corner of the mouth wrapped in white gauze, is sleeping peacefully in the arms of his grandmother, all unlike a child who has been seriously injured. The child’s grandmother still feels some fear when she recalls the scene that happened at noon on the 22nd. At 12 noon that day, she and her partner were eating, suddenly heard a scream from the kitchen grandson, ran over to take a look, she was shocked by the scene in front of her legs. A fire poker from the corner of the grandson’s mouth directly into, the child wailed in pain. “Xiaohu is usually more active, mischievous, we guess, he may be from a high jump accidentally fell on the fire poker to be injured, I should have known I have to keep an eye on him. The daughter-in-law is in her first trimester, so we are responsible for Xiaohu’s diet and living, but I didn’t know this would happen.” The grandmother said with a look of remorse. The family immediately sent the child to the local hospital, which was transferred to the Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture Hospital due to the severity of the injury, and then to the Xiangya Hospital. When Associate Professor Li Xuejun of the Department of Neurosurgery of Xiangya Hospital received the call from the Autonomous Prefecture Hospital, it was already 9:00 p.m. He was unable to rest and contacted other doctors urgently to rush to the hospital. At 11:30 p.m. on January 22, experts who were already prepared were waiting in the emergency department and opened a green channel for Xiaohu to receive emergency treatment. Due to the pain, the child was irritable and very unstable, the fire poker stump inserted in the left corner of his mouth was still visible, the fire poker exposed in the corner of the mouth was about 10 cm, but there was no obvious blood at the wound. The head CT showed that Xiaohu had a penetrating metal sharps injury in the left side of the skull, a fracture of the left pterygoid bone, a cerebral contusion of the left temporal lobe, and bilateral maxillary sinusitis. Combined with the examination results, in neurosurgery, otorhinolaryngology, stomatology and other multi-disciplinary expert consultation, doctors concluded that the fire pliers stump near the cavernous sinus, but fortunately the depth of insertion into the brain tissue is not long, about 2 cm. The 5 cm long residual metal was removed smoothly without opening the skull In order to remove the residual metal smoothly, Xiaohu was sent to the operating room, and it was already 1:00 am. Due to the small age of the child and the large incision, once the craniotomy is performed, on the one hand, it will increase the trauma, and on the other hand, it will have a certain impact on the child’s future development. Experts believe that craniotomy should not be performed as a last resort. Due to the long use of fire pliers, the tip of the deformed barb, how to smoothly pull out the stump at the same time, so that the deformed tip as far as possible not to hurt the blood vessels and surrounding tissues has become a problem discussed by experts, which requires a very rich clinical experience, its approach, direction are very important. After half an hour of effort, Associate Professor Li Xuejun successfully pulled out the 5 cm long residual metal, and with the cooperation of stomatologists, cosmetic suturing was performed on the child’s facial and oral wounds. The postoperative review CT results suggested that the intracranial condition was stable and there was no air in the skull (low possibility of infection). Professor Li said that Xiaohu was lucky that the fire clamp went from the left corner of the mouth through the oromandibular bone and temporal fossa to the bottom of the middle fossa, and the tip was near the cavernous sinus, if it was still a little deeper it might have injured the internal carotid artery and the venous plexus at the base of the skull and endangered his life. Professor Li reminded parents that metal sharps and other dangerous objects should be placed out of reach of children to avoid accidental injuries. 6 “prescriptions” to prevent accidental injuries Red Network Changsha January 25 (Xiaoxiang Morning News rolling news reporter Liu Shaolong) “As long as you develop good habits and strengthen safety awareness, accidental injuries can be avoided.” Zhu Yimin said.
