On January 2, Master - Doctor Nguyen Ngoc Pi Doanh (Department of Neurosurgery, Children's Hospital 2, Ho Chi Minh City) said: After more than 10 days of emergency surgery and active treatment, the patient is currently recovering, opening his eyes and moving his arms and legs naturally.
Previously, N. was transferred to a lower-level hospital in a deep coma, with a wound on the top of the head that had been sutured. The CT scan results showed a penetrating injury through the brain from the front of the head to the cerebellum behind, causing a large amount of subdural and intracerebral hemorrhage, compression and cerebral edema.
After receiving the baby, the medical team at Children's Hospital 2 immediately performed emergency surgery to remove the hematoma and open the skull to relieve pressure. The baby was cared for post-operatively in the Intensive Care and Anti-Poison Department. Currently, the baby has opened his eyes, moved his arms and legs naturally and was transferred to the Neurosurgery Department for further monitoring.
"Although there are signs of good recovery, there will definitely be neurological sequelae due to severe brain damage. The child cannot speak yet and has weakness on the left side of his body," added Dr. Doanh.

Taking the medical history, Mr. BMV, the patient's father, said that at the time of the accident, he was not present at the scene. People told him that N. was standing in front of the house watching his older siblings play badminton. Suddenly, the racket's shaft separated from the handle, flew up and fell on the child's head. The child was taken to a lower-level hospital for first aid and transferred to Children's Hospital 2 for further treatment.
Doctor Doanh said that this was a rare but extremely dangerous household accident. The hospital recommends that parents be vigilant about objects that can easily injure children. For badminton rackets like this case, family members should check the equipment before use to prevent similar incidents.
