Abstract

The case history of a 28-year-old man who sustained a gunshot wound to the head and developed multiple pulmonary emboli composed of cerebral tissue is presented. The brain tissue fragments probably entered the severed end of a bridging vein, traveled along the superior sagittal sinus, and gained access to the internal jugular vein and systemic venous return.
