Abstract:
We report a patient who sustained a single gunshot wound in the left supraclavicular fossa followed by retrograde venous bullet embolization from the left subclavian or innominate veins to a tributary of the right popliteal vein. We briefly discuss the clinical importance of this occurrence and emphasize the value of venography in the diagnosis of this rare form of missile migration.
