Eye injury and multiple traumas after falling from the second floor.

In Son La, an 8-year-old girl fell from the second floor and was rushed to the provincial general hospital with multiple injuries and in critical condition.

On May 21st, the family reported that the child was playing with friends at home when he unfortunately slipped and fell from the second floor, approximately 4 meters high. The child was hospitalized with severe pain in the lower legs and forehead, and bleeding on the face.

Doctors from various departments, including the Orthopedic Trauma Center, the Maxillofacial Surgery Department, and the Ophthalmology Department, held a multidisciplinary consultation and determined that the child had complex maxillofacial injuries, vascular damage, a ruptured left eyeball, and a fractured left temporal bone, thus requiring emergency surgery.

Dr. Nguyen Thi Hong Chuyen, Head of the Maxillofacial Department, said the child suffered severe injuries and underwent debridement and reconstructive surgery on the maxillofacial area. However, the left eye sustained a ruptured eyeball, resulting in loss of function, and could not be saved.

Following surgery, the patient was conscious but experienced headaches and was being monitored for traumatic brain injury.

Doctors advise families to closely supervise children and create a safe play environment to minimize the risk of accidents and avoid unfortunate injuries. If an accident occurs, children should be immediately taken to the nearest medical facility for prompt emergency treatment.
