    Area of Science:

    • Trauma Surgery
    • Otolaryngology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Ballistic injuries present complex anatomical challenges.
    • Understanding projectile trajectory is crucial for patient management.

    Observation:

    • A unique case of a bullet entering the maxillary antrum is described.
    • The bullet penetrated the hard palate, entering the esophagus.
    • It subsequently struck the cervical spine before traversing the gastrointestinal tract.

    Findings:

    • The bullet followed an unusual path, deviating from typical ballistic injury patterns.
    • Despite the complex trajectory and cervical spine impact, the patient experienced an uneventful gastrointestinal passage.

    Implications:
