A gunshot wound led to a bullet traveling backward through veins to the leg. This rare case highlights the importance of venography for diagnosing such missile migration.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Radiology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Gunshot wounds can cause complex vascular injuries.
  • Bullet embolization is a rare but serious complication.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a gunshot wound to the left supraclavicular fossa.
  • Imaging revealed retrograde venous bullet embolization.

Findings:

  • The bullet migrated from the left subclavian or innominate veins.
  • The embolus lodged in a right popliteal vein tributary.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the unusual pathways of venous bullet migration.
  • Venography is crucial for diagnosing and managing these rare events.
