Ksar Hélal hospital treats autistic child
A medical team at Qasr Hlal Hospital successfully performed the first dental treatment under general anesthesia for a 14-year-old child suffering from severe autism. The procedure aimed to relieve him from intense pain in his mouth and gums. Dr. Kholoud Ben Mansour explained that the case required specialized surgical intervention due to difficulties in managing the child in a traditional clinic setting. Coordination was made between the Dentistry Department and the ENT Department to carry out the treatment under anesthesia. The operation resulted in collecting diagnostic samples, treating cavities, and thoroughly cleaning the mouth. This was the first time at Qasr Hlal Hospital that dental treatment was provided under general anesthesia, supported by the establishment of a mobile dental unit to facilitate access to treatment services for this group.
