Shotgun wound and pellet embolism to the intracranial carotid artery Vaquero Puerta, Carlos San Norberto García, Enrique María Merino Díaz, Borja González Fajardo, José Antonio Taylor, James Armas de fuego Cerebro - Lesiones y heridas Cirugía Producción Científica Missile embolism into the cerebral circulation is a very unusual complication of shotgun wounds to the chest or neck. We report a case of an 11-year-old boy who sustained an air gunshot wound and pellet embolism to the intracranial carotid artery. The cerebral artery pellet embolus resulted in contralateral hemiplegia. The patient was successfully treated by emergency flow reversal and embolectomy. Because this injury is extremely rare, the literature is reviewed, and several principles are suggested to improve the management.
