Abstract:
We have reported a case of intracranial to intraspinal migration of a retained bullet fragment over a course of approximately 4 years. The patient remained asymptomatic. The bullet was removed via a posterior cervical laminectomy. Migration of bullet fragments, though rare, should be included as one of the delayed complications of gunshot wound to the head.
