Miraculously, no permanent brain damage was suffered
A Chicago-area man accidentally drove a nail into his?brain last week, and didn't realize it for a full 36 hours.?Dante Autullo was working with a nailgun when the accident occured last Tuesday. Losing his grip while using the gun on top of a wall, it swung around and hit the back of his head. The collision fired a 3 1/2" nail into his skull so cleanly that the wound appeared to be minor.
The incident hardly fazed Autullo, who treated himself by taking a few Advil before finishing his nailing work. Afterward, he?put in an eight-hour shift of work at his job as a plow driver. It wasn't until Thursday that a strong headache sent him to his doctor, who discovered the nail via?X-ray.
Doctors removed the part of Autullo's skull which held the nail in a procedure that took about two hours.?Amazingly, Autullo does not appear to have lost any?brain function as a result of his injury. Doctors believe that complications are unlikely to develop.
