TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Double penetration wound: a nail gun injury involving the head and heart JO - Radiology case reports A1 - Ye, Ciou-Nan A1 - Lin, Ming-Chieh A1 - Huang, Chien-Lin SP - 334 EP - 338 VL - 15 IS - 4 N2 - Nail gun injuries usually occur at the extremities due to working accidents. Intracranial or intrathoracic injuries are relatively rare, and cases combined with both injuries are even rarer. Such situations pose challenges for surgeons due to their uniqueness during operation. Radiologic imaging findings in our case were significant in indicating surgical findings. Herein, we report a patient who shot himself using a nail gun, damaging his brain and heart.
