The 12 de Octubre hospital in Madrid
has made a historic milestone:
extracting a cerebral thrombus from
the smallest patient in the world, a baby only two months old.
It is the first time that this intervention has been done in a child of such a young age.
Dylan went to the emergency room in early February because he had poor mobility in his right leg and arm.
After a cranial MRI, which took just five minutes, he was diagnosed with a severe stroke caused by a thrombus.
The intervention was carried out successfully.
The thrombus was removed from the largest artery in the brain and from the left hemisphere, the dominant one.
The technique used was thrombectomy, which is performed through a puncture in the femoral or radial artery.
"This encourages us to continue detecting strokes very early in young children so that they can benefit from this technique," said
Rogelio Simón,
head of Pediatric Neurology on October 12.
After a second MRI, they found that the infarction had not progressed.
Thus, the child was transferred to the plant where he continued to recover until he was discharged in mid-February in good health.
"With this we have achieved that a two-month-old child is neither diplomatic nor with speech problems for the rest of his life," recalled
Ana Ramos González,
Head of the Radiodiagnosis Section of the Hospital 12 de Octubre.
Now Dylan is five months old and lives a normal life.
There is no history of a similar case.
