Case:
We report a case of self-inflicted transoral gunshot injury in a 24-year-old man resulting in mechanical block to cervical rotation. Anterior surgical removal of the pellet was successful with the patient experiencing no early or long-term functional deficits.
Conclusion:
Given the rarity of a cervical spine injury from gunshot wound without long-term complications, this unique case supports the role of early operative management in such injuries.
