In particular, the wound was located close to the transverse sinus, if the injury deviated by just a few millimeters, the patient could be in danger of life due to sinus injury causing bleeding.

From this case, experts warn that school-age children are very active and sometimes do not fully understand the risks of injury in daily activities. To limit unfortunate accidents, parents, teachers, schools and community health facilities need to regularly remind and equip children and students with safety knowledge.

Some important measures include: Education on accident prevention skills and basic first aid skills so that children can protect themselves. Increased supervision at home, on school grounds, especially in playgrounds, stairs, hallways, etc.

In addition, remove sharp, potentially dangerous objects from your daily living environment and your play and learning environment. Instruct children to avoid dangerous games that can cause injury to minimize the risk of accidents.
