Pencil stabs girl’s eye, trenchant both sides of brain


When Olivia Smith fell from a chair, a pencil she was regulating fast became a dangerous weapon.  

The pencil went by her eye form and lodged itself in her brain, a New Hampshire Union Leader reported.

The pencil pierced by both of Olivia’s mind hemispheres, and she had to be flown to Boston Children’s Hospital around helicopter. More than 50 doctors worked on her case, and they all concluded a arena of a pencil ‘narrowly’ missed a tools of her mind that could have led to genocide or permanent damage.

“It done my eyes really open to all else that goes on that we don’t cruise about,” Susie Smith, Olivia’s mother, told a Union Leader. “You cruise about your day-to-day stuff. We’re so lucky.”

Dr. Darren Orbach, a multiplication arch of interventional radiology during Boston Children’s Hospital, told a Union Leader he skeleton to tell a paper about Olivia and a discerning medical response she perceived that day.

“If we can cruise someone propitious who has a pencil go by her brain, we have to cruise this lady remarkably lucky,” Orbach told a newspaper.

Orbach pronounced Olivia, 21 months, fell head-first onto a pencil, that stabbed her eye hollow and continued into both mind hemispheres, interlude only next her left ear.

Scans from her initial revisit to a puncture room in New Boston showed there was no intracranial bleeding.

Orbach pronounced when he initial saw Olivia, a steer was “violent and jarring.” The procession to mislay a pencil took about 40 minutes, and by a time they had finished, her scans looked like roughly zero had happened.

“I design her to radically make a full recovery, since of her age and how good she’s doing right off a bat,” Orbach said.
