- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 1-year 11-month-old girl fell from a sofa (75 cm in height) while brushing her teeth. The article discusses that the improvement of the longitudinal emphysema was confirmed by CT performed 8 days after the injury; and also confirmed the absence of additional injury and complications, including the lack of any cerebral infarction, dissection, or thrombus in the head and neck arteries and veins.
