TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - Scratched pustule or gunshot wound? A medical odyssey JO - International journal of legal medicine A1 - Bajanowski, T. A1 - Karger, B. A1 - Brinkmann, B. SP - 267 EP - 268 VL - 114 IS - 4-5 N2 - The diagnosis of a gunshot wound can be difficult especially if the morphology is not typical. In the case presented a neck injury was not recognised as a gunshot wound by several clinicians and radiologists although the bullet could be seen at the base of the patient's tongue and on all X-rays taken. This misinterpretation may have been caused by a "professional blinkers phenomenon".
