N2  - We report the case of a 20-year-old man with a gunshot injury as an example of spontaneous migration of a metallic foreign body within the brain. Computed tomography (CT) showed the bullet in the left temporoparietal region. At 10 days follow-up, CT revealed that the bullet had migrated posteriorly, due to the effect of gravity, lodging in the occipital lobe. Although there are a few literature reports of spontaneous migration of a bullet within the brain, this case was unique as the patient was fully conscious without any neurological deficit.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
