Severe traumatic brain injury in a child falling from the fourth floor and a remarkable recovery with exquisite team management

Abstract

A 04-year-old child sustained a severe head injury as a result of a fall from the fourth floor to a cemented surface on 20 Sep 2011. Prompt resuscitation by the pediatric team and decompressive craniectomy followed by elective ventilation resulted in remarkable recovery of both the motor deficit (Hemiplegia) and Dysphasia.
