  • left pulmonary artery bullet embolism following a penetrating cardiac Gunshot Injury
    African Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2019
    Co-Authors: Anjana Bairagi, Timothy C. Hardcastle, David J.j. Muckart
    Abstract:

    Abstract Introduction Bullet emboli occur when bullets migrate from an entry point to an abnormal endpoint via blood vessels or bowel. Most result from low-velocity, small calibre civilian Gunshots. Although rare, when it does occur, it commonly embolises to the arterial system. Many times, these are amenable to removal and recovery. Case report We present a case of a haemodynamically unstable polytrauma patient with a pulmonary artery projectile embolus following a penetrating trans-thoracic cardiac Gunshot wound. Conclusion A brief overview of the literature regarding bullet emboli is provided in light of this unusual case, focusing specifically on thoracic bullet emboli. A high index of suspicion should be raised when the number of entry and exit wounds are incongruent, bullet location does not align with anticipated trajectory, or serial radiographs demonstrate missile migration. Radiological evaluation and bullet retrieval are dependent on haemodynamic stability of the patient.

  • reconstruction and rehabilitation of short range high velocity Gunshot Injury to the lower face a case report
    Journal of Cranio-maxillofacial Surgery, 1997
    Co-Authors: Hossein Behnia, Mohammad Hosein Kalantar Motamedi
    Abstract:

    War injuries can range from the most minor to the devastating and life-threatening. Multidisciplinary care is required for successful management of survivors. In the acute phase, care may involve emergency surgeons, anaesthetists, neurosurgeons, ophthalmic surgeons, vascular surgeons and ENT specialists in addition to the oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Afterwards, definitive treatment of facial hard and soft tissue Gunshot injuries depends ultimately on the abilities and skills of the oral and maxillofacial surgeon and his appreciation of such injuries. The timing and sequence of the surgical procedures used for reconstruction and rehabilitation of maxillofacial Gunshot injuries are crucial to a successful outcome and aesthetic result. If incorrect, they may lead indefinitely to infection, graft rejection, wound dehiscence with consequent multiple revisional operations and complications which will prolong hospital stay, and increase treatment costs and morbidity in these patients. In this article, we describe the treatment protocol for reconstruction and rehabilitation of a typical case of devastating Gunshot Injury to the lower face and propose a staged sequence of surgical treatment based on an 8-year experience gained in treating war casualties during the Iraq-Iran war (1980-1988).

  • self inflicted Gunshot Injury simulating a criminal offence
    Forensic Science International, 2009
    Co-Authors: Tony Fracasso, L Lohrer, B Karger
    Abstract:

    An extraordinary case of a young woman with a Gunshot wound to her left hand is presented. A typical near-contact entrance wound at the palm of the hand, extensive soft tissue destruction including nerve and vessel Injury and a large stellate exit wound at the back of the hand were diagnosed and surgically treated. The woman initially stated that she had tried to repulse the pistol when a man shot her from close-range, which is consistent with the Injury findings. After questioned thoroughly, however, she confessed self-infliction using a 8 mm blank pistol. This case demonstrates that a self-inflicted Injury simulating a criminal offence can be present even if very atypical features such as the use of a firearm and mutilating or defence-like injuries clearly speak against it.
