Abstract
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. ( J Vasc Surg 2012;55:535-7.)
