This healthy 7YO boy was playing with his older brother while watching their favorite Three Stooges bit about Niagara Falls.
Horseplay literally turned into tragedy when they presented to the emergency room with the older brother’s hand impaled into his younger brother’s right eye.
Both were immediately taken to surgery, where the attacking brother’s thumb was amputated at the distal phalanx, then removed internally via an open sky pars plana vitrectomy approach. Six months later, following removal of the silicone oil, vision was 20/30.
And Happy April Fool’s Day!
