Article Synopsis
  • Traumatic embolization from gunshot wounds is uncommon, but it can occur when pellets enter the bloodstream either immediately or after some time due to erosion of blood vessels.
  • A case involving a 13-year-old boy who suffered an air rifle injury resulted in neurological issues, including seizures and hemiparesis, and imaging revealed the pellet causing blockage in the brain's blood supply.
  • Managing such cases often involves careful consideration of surgery versus conservative treatment, especially when unique complications like missed exit wounds occur, highlighting the need for thorough imaging studies.
