Özet
Toraksa yönelik ateşli silah yaralanmalarında sakatlık ve ölüm oranı yüksek olduğundan,toraks içinde kalıp herhangi bir patolojiye neden olmayan yabancı cisimlere yaklaşım konusu literatürde az rastlanır bir durumdur. Bu çalışmada, ateşli silah yaralanması sonucu acil servise getirilen, takibinde torakal komplikasyon gelişmeyen ve sonrasında toraks içindeki mermi çekirdeğiyle yaşayan bir hastanın takip ve tedavi aşamalarını incelemeyi amaçladık.
