Eight-Year-Old Hurt in Pinamar Dunes Crash Reoperated After New Brain Bleed, Still in ICU

Early neurological responses led doctors to ease sedation before a new intraventricular bleed forced the reinstatement of external drainage.

Overview

  • Provincial health officials say the child remains in grave but clinically and hemodynamically stable condition, intubated in intensive care in Mar del Plata.
  • Doctors had removed an intracranial pressure sensor and begun gradual respiratory weaning before the complication necessitated emergency neurosurgery, which was reported successful.
  • The patient has undergone multiple abdominal and cranial procedures since the Jan. 12 UTV–Amarok collision, with initial surgeries in Pinamar and subsequent interventions at the Hiemi.
  • Prosecutor Sergio García has charged both drivers and the boy’s father with aggravated negligent injuries, citing indications the child was on his father’s lap without a seatbelt.
  • Forensic toxicology on Jan. 22 and accident reconstructions on Jan. 26 are slated to inform responsibility as the judicial probe advances.
