The surgical team quickly decided to perform surgery immediately under general anesthesia and brain surgery. This was a very complicated case, the patient was too small (5kg), if transferred to another facility there would be many risks during the transfer.

Up to now, the surgery has been successful, the patient is stable, out of anesthesia, and feeding well. The patient has been transferred to the Pediatrics Department for further treatment in combination with departments such as Orthopedics and Intensive Care and Anti-Poison.
