A blood clot caused a 17-year-old student to collapse just moments before taking her exam.

Mia Campbell, from Sunderland, has been left paralysed and with a concaved head after undergoing an operation to remove the life-threatening hematoma.

Her furious family have slammed bungling staff at Sunderland College for failing to immediately call an ambulance for their daughter.

It is known that without treatment, blood clots can be deadly or cause long-lasting effects as they can stop oxygen from reaching the brain.

Surgeons gave Mia, who was 16 at the time, a craniotomy – a procedure to remove part of her skull so that they could achieve better access to the clot itself.

Concerned doctors had to put the teenager in an induced coma in intensive care, where she spent 10 days fighting for her life – before pulling through.
