Acute and critical care management of a pediatric patient with medullo-cerebellar impaling
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 08/04/09

Sherr GT et al. – The authors present a child with an accidental cervical medullo–cerebellar impaling by an aluminum rod. Careful planning for safe removal of the rod as well as vigilant attention to early cardiac instability and flash neurogenic pulmonary edema were paramount to her successful recovery. This patient illustrates that it is possible to survive impaling of the brainstem but it requires both innovation and collaboration by multiple specialists across different departments.
