Abstract:
We present a unique case of a gunshot wound to the head and neck in a 51-year-old male in Korea, where such injuries are extremely rare. The case involved complex emergency procedures including neurosurgery and lingual artery ligation, complicated by worsening cerebral conditions. This report contributes to the limited Korean literature on such injuries, providing insights into their management and the importance of immediate multidisciplinary medical interventions for gunshot trauma.
