An unusual case of birdshot embolism.

Ocal Berkan1, Ilhan Günay.   

Abstract

There are numerous cases of arterial and venous bullet embolism to the heart. An unusual case of birdshot embolus to the right ventricle from the femoral vein caused diagnostic confusion. Distant migration of the foreign bodies via blood vessels has to be taken into consideration after gunshot wounds.
