Brain Stem

I know someone that was in an accident. She had his two children with her. The one fact the most probably survives while the other is not foreseen to. It has an injury of head and his brain stem detached of his vertebral column.

I know that this is extremely serious, but I desired have to have just a type of the idea of its chances. Il's only 5 old years.

Do I think you the average vertebral rope? The vertebral column left it the skeleton that surrounds the vertebral rope and supports your skull.

The vertebral rope carries messages of your brain to your body and brings messages of your body of return to your brain.

If the vertebral rope is " separated" brainstem, that means that to although levels that the separation arrives, the body parties to the under of that will not work properly. The entrails and the heart have their own system, therefore they mettent't has really need of the brain to work, but you need the connection to the cervical thorn (in particular the vertebral rope to flower of the fourth third verta�bres and fifth cervical) to ennervate the diaphragm. Then, the separation to this level (or higher) the means that the child will not be able to the breath in an independent way, and if the child was deprived oxygen since a long time, the brain and the other organs (the liver, the kidneys) could have suffered well as much of damages as the child has gagned't survives.

The chances depend on the level of the injury, the other injuries that it could have suffered, and how quick it received the care. If it is not counted to survive, I suspect it has a high injury and an expenditure too time without the breathing (then, no oxygen).

The small poor guy.

The sounds as an atrocious accident.

I think that that does you a quadripalegic. so sad

If it lives, it the most probably will do is paralyzed neck down below.

The death of usally instantly as this arrives also in during arrives, but the child will be paralyzed head and is down below in a lung in iron to breathe, if it survived the blesses, it will be a cabbage Source (the Sources) : nurse

The brain stem left it lower of the brain, being adjacent and continuous structurelment with the vertebral rope.
The different diseases of and the traumatism to the central nervous system (CNS), just like their consequences are common causes of death and therefore of it are important to examine the CNS with appropriate in the legal autopsy, not to forget that the disease site is often as crucial as his nature. The CNS is a complex organ and his examination demands methods and the special knowledge and the often consultation with a neuropathologist. The previous condition for the correct examination is handling and the correct treatment of the CNS. Because of his soft fixing of consistency of the CNS in toto before the macroscopic detailed analysis is recommended but the direction for a limited dispatched examination also is given. The characteristic keys to that the attention should be paid during the abduction and the later macroscopic examination of the CNS are described. Treatment CNS for the microscopy demands also special techniques and what's more routine stains the two spots of special, histological immunohistochemical and chosen often are needed to attain the correct diagnosis.

I the pense'll is paralyzed neck down below that is as sad crazy, but at least you can speak and can stuff.

If that arrives you are dead: you stop the breathing and the heart stops.

Nevertheless, the it is possible for the CRANE to detach thorn and survives. I know of two cases locally, the one has not any almost last decrease and the other partially is paralyzed but able to walk.

Of any ordinary damages to the brain stem are mortal. .. The stem of brain contains the basic function as the breathing and if it is living that I would say that there could remain a vegetable or to the better a quadraplegic. .. I if is grieved my taken one are with you...

Je'm you supposant're conversation of a dislocation atlanto-axial, the bony injury, instead of having in fact a disconnection of the brainstem and the vertebral rope. That certainly would have been almost immediately fatal. The bony injury could be associated with harsh neurological defits, with tetraplegia. Of more, the vertebral injuries of rope above the C4 level interromp the capacity to the breath (that is a big party of the high rate of immediate death). But la�'s a lot of pieces in the vertebral canal to the C1/C2 level, and a just number of patients with the gift of injury osseuse't has an injury to the vertebral rope, in which recognizes repairing the bones will prevent to his place the injury of rope.
