Close Call to Life and Death –Penetrating Injury in Childhood by Trishula
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Penetrating abdominal injuries are uncommon in the paediatric age group and are involved in a high mortality. The management of penetrating injuries can be very challenging due to the associated haemorrhagic shock and visceral injury and often requires rapid assessment and intervention. Specific management principles are guided by the anatomic location of injury, the determination of the trajectory, and the suspected organs injured. Management of these injuries possess specific challenges in pre-hospital care, transport and management strategies. We report a case of penetrating injury to back and abdomen when he fell onto the trident implanted on the top of small worship place. Despite delayed presentation, the child survived following surgery.
