N2  - As the use of firearms has become more prevalent in society, both the number of homicidal & suicidal victims has increased Injuries from gunshot wounds, of the face and neck vary in extent and significance, forming a spectrum from trivial to life-endangering lesions. The face and the neck have many vital structures confined to a small area of the body, and hence, it has a greter potential of leading to a fatality in the event of trauma. We report a case of a civilian homicidal firearm injmy sustained in the head & neck region, with the bullet having travelled through the head & neck region without causing any mortality and minimal morbidity to the victim.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
