“Considering the fact the brain was not responding in the initial phase, we started with blood transfusion which continued for about five days. With the condition not improving much, on the evening of day five, we performed emergency surgery to remove broken bone pieces from the right brain. Five days after the surgery, the boy opened his eyes,” said Dr. Ranganadham, Senior Neurosurgeon and HOD – Neuro Surgery, SLG Hospitals.
