The screw was close to a blood vessel that would have ended his life
Doctors say 13-year-old Maryland boy came just a millimeter from bleeding to death after a screw pierces his skill, CNN reports.
Days before his 13th birthday, a Maryland boy was almost killed after a wooden board with a screw in it fell onto his head Saturday, embedding the screw between the two halves of his brain as he was building a treehouse, according to a report from CNN.
An X-ray shows a portion of the screw lodged between the the two hemispheres of the brain.
The main concern with a "foreign body" injury like this is that the object (in this case, a screw) could have damaged a brain area called the superior sagittal sinus, said Dr. Justin Thomas, a neurosurgeon at Southside Hospital in Bay Shore, New York, who was not involved in the boy's case.
