abstract="We report about a bullet embolus in the middle lobe pulmonary artery (a patient who was sent for a routine-chest-film preoperatively). The patient, 74 years old, was hit by a bullet in localization of the left masseteric region during world war II. The bullet entered the left Vena jugularis and was embolised into the middle lobe pulmonary artery (shock-position). By the means of CT-curved-reformations we could localize the bullet (2 x 0.7 cm) in the middle lobe pulmonary artery and diagnosed a lobar fibrosis as a sequel of the focal hypoxemia.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
