Introduction: Literature showcases conflicting findings regarding the outcomes of ballistic fragment removal from the spine in gunshot wounds (GSW) patients. Further research in this area is needed to better comprehend the nuances of risks and benefits surrounding ballistic fragment removal from the spine in GSW patients. In this case report, we discuss the late-onset cervical prevertebral abscess which developed when a previously embedded bullet fragment migrated into the retropharyngeal space 11 years after an initial GSW.

Methods: NFDs, SA, and anterior, middle, and posterior DSH were measured using computed tomography of 969 patients. NFDs were defined as sagittal anterior-to-posterior width, foraminal height, and area.
Background: Understanding the location of surface anatomical landmarks in relation to the cervical and thoracic spine is important for a wide array of clinical applications. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of patient demographic and anthropometric characteristics on the locations of the sternal notch and sternal angle in relation to the spine using computed tomography (CT) of a large cohort of young adult patients without spinal pathology.
Methods: Vertebral levels corresponding to the sternal notch and sternal angle were analyzed using CT of 1,035 patients.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical applications and limitations of chat generative pretrained transformer (ChatGPT) in otolaryngology.
Study Design: Cross-sectional survey.
Setting: Tertiary academic center.
