VAZQUEZ-MINERO, Juan Carlos et al. Aspiration of firearm projectile. A rare case in trauma. Neumol. cir. torax [online]. 2021, vol.80, n.3, pp.218-221.  Epub May 16, 2022. ISSN 0028-3746.  https://doi.org/10.35366/102484.

Gunshot wounds are now becoming more frequent as a result of urban violence. Projectile migration to the lumen of the airways is very rare and requires multidisciplinary management. This is a case of a 38-year-old woman attacked by third parties, with multiple gunshot wounds to the face and craneum that initially presents a projectile in the face, which is subsequently aspirated into the airway requiring its extraction by bronchoscopy. This type of patient requires the management of several specialties to solve the problem.

Keywords : Foreign body; airway; facial trauma; gunshot wound.
