【 摘 要 】

Case presentationA 7-month-old female infant was admitted to emergency service due to a traffic accident. We were informed that one of the parents died in the accident and it was referred to us to think it was a high-energy trauma. In neurological examination, the eyes opened spontaneously, the patient was restless and there were no limb movements (The pediatric Glasgow Coma Scale = 9, Frankel grade = A). The patient was intubated due to low oxygen saturation and had respiratory distress in the emergency department, so we immediately hospitalized her in the pediatric intensive care unit.
