title: Successful rescue of a child with fall-related multi-organ injuries.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Fall-related injury is a major cause of accidental death and is rarely reported in children. Even successful treatment of children with multi-organ injuries caused by fall from the extreme height has been rarely reported.
  
  
  METHODS
  We herein report a 2-year-old girl who fell from the 10th floor, had multi-organ injuries, and was successfully rescued.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The girl sustained multi-organ injuries, such as head injury, closed abdominal injury, as well as fractures of the left limbs, and successfully recovered after two surgeries and supportive treatment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case illustrates that a child who falls from extreme heights can occasionally be rescued. Early neuroprotective strategies help to improve neurological recovery.
