ABSTRACT

Because of the high rates of death and severe injury due to thoracal gun shot wounds, the medical approach to bullet cores remaining in the thoracic cavity without causing any complication has only rarely been presented in the literature. In this study, we aimed to investigate the treatment and follow up stages of a patient who was admitted to the emergency department due to a thoracic gunshot wound and developed no thoracic complication.
