I guess he had a really fragile head :(

This is a shame for the families of both the victim and the 11-year old girl. I hope there are no civil suits behind this. Tragic, yes....But this is what little boys and girls do. Little boys harass little girls....pull their hair and run.....hit them and run.....touch them and run.....the girls get mad, throw a rock, throw a stick, hit the boys.....So I seriously hope there aren't any civil suits behind this....but it's still a tragedy.

Just real a bad accident now both families will suffer greatly and I'am sure the girl will never be mentally stable ,so sad.

Its all about proper and on time medical service.
Treatment depends substantially of the type of ICH. Rapid CT scan and other diagnostic measures are used to chose proper treatment, which may include both medication and surgery.
The risk of death from an intraparenchymal bleed in traumatic brain injury is especially high when the injury occurs in the brain stem. Intraparenchymal bleeds within the medulla are almost always fatal, because they cause damage to cranial nerve X, the vagus nerve, which plays an important role in blood circulation and breathing. This kind of hemorrhage can also occur in the cortex or subcortical areas, usually in the frontal or temporal lobes when due to head injury, and sometimes in the cerebellum.

For spontaneous ICH seen on CT scan, the death rate (mortality) is 34–50% by 30 days after the insult.

Treatment

Treatment for intracranial bleeding varies, depending on the underlying abnormality that caused the bleeding, the location of the bleeding and the size of the blood clot.

The multidisciplinary team at the Stroke Program brings to the table the best of diagnostic radiology, interventional radiology, neurosurgery and neuromedical management.

Diagnostic radiology involves the use of various types of scans to precisely identify the nature and location of the hemorrhage.

Interventional radiology involves treatments that include passing a catheter to widen or to close off blood vessels in the brain without surgery. Other types of interventional radiology involve using focused radiation to correct abnormal blood vessels that have bled into the brain.

Finally, microsurgical techniques can be used to treat abnormal or leaky vessels.

Diagnosis

On the basis of symptoms, the doctors may strongly suspect bleeding inside the skull. In this setting, CT scans of the brain remains the test of choice. If the CT scan does not confirm the diagnosis, a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) can be used to confirm or rule out subarachnoid hemorrhage. A lumbar puncture may also be needed if infection of the brain or its covering layers is suspected. MRI/MRA, CT angiogram and/or contrast angiography may be needed to complete the diagnosis and enable the doctors to decide on the proper treatment.

waooo tht sad

Wow that is sad and tragic. However that little girl must have some arm to throw a stick that hard.

I hear the Yankees may make her the first female prospect in the MLB...

Jokes aside.. tragic event.

What ignorance, all around. A freak childhood accident. Nothing more. Civil suits?If Dominican law suppported them, where would the child's family get the resources to hire a lawyer. And even if both happened, and a judge ruled in their favor, what would they win????? Do you think that if either family had anything, that their children would be swimming in an irrigation canal???

As for treatment, HOW? IF someone nearby had a telephone, and IF someone answered the telephone at the medical facility, and IF the ambulance could be found and had gasoline, and IF there was a driver, they would still be more than 2 hours from the nearest placde that could deal with this type of injury. Life flights ? HA.

Dominicans accept this. The little boy is dead, his family will grieve for 9 days, and they will survive.

girls in DR are very strong due to the manual labor of doing chores around the house. I saw this little boy pull a girls hair and the girl pounded him so hard with her rubber sandle that his back was super red.

What a heart breaking story..its really sad . Innocent children playing around...and no adults supervision.. sad soryy!

Really sad.
Prayers out to both families.

I wonder how you all would react if it was said that it was a Haitian girl that had done that?

Just a thought...

Sigma

Let's pray for a miracle or Un Milagro. Usually, Dominicans have the tendency to over-react to a trajedy like this. In on hand, the family who lost the child may want to get even, which is not the right thing to do; on the the other hand, the family of the child whom caused the accident may feel too much stress resulting in in more mental harm for the innocent girl. I hope that everything goes well for both famiies.
