Shot Wounds

Penetrating abdominal injuries, especially from gun shot wounds, are a common occurrence in South African hospitals, and a vast majority of these patient receive surgical intervention for suspected intra-abdominal injuries. Not all bullets are found and removed however, and we detail the case of a gentleman who presented to our institution with obstructive jaundice secondary to an extraluminal compression of his biliary tree by a retained migrated bullet, that spontaneously resolved, without any surgical intervention.

Abstract Introduction Low-velocity penetrating brain injury is not prevalent. In some conditions such as childhood, and with the penetration of a pellet in weak spots of skull, low-velocity penetrating brain injury is expected; however, high-velocity projectiles have also been reported as the cause of severe brain injuries. One of the complications of penetrating brain injury is infection, in which different types of microorganisms play a role. The Streptococcus genus is the leading cause of abscess formation in non-traumatic patients. Multiple brain abscesses are not common. Case Presentation A 10-year-old boy with penetrating brain injury caused by an air gun pellet, who developed signs and symptoms of high intracranial pressure 18 days after the trauma. After the imaging scans and the detection of multiple brain abscesses and severe brain edema, prompt surgical intervention was performed for all three lesions in a single operation. The culture of a pus specimen was positive for Streptococcus species, and, with adequate antibiotic therapy, the patient was discharged from the hospital in good condition. Conclusion Brain injury with air gun shot is not prevalent. The penetration of a low-velocity air gun pellet in weak points of the skull (such as the orbit, the squamous portion of the temporal bone, and the cranial suture), specially in children, can cause significant brain injuries.

Background. Any large missing part of the ureter may be replaced by transureteroureterostomy, psoas hitch, Boari flap, nephrectomy, renal autotransplanation or by the implementation of an intestinal graft. Case report. A patient with a defect of the lumbal- pelvic portion of the right ureter, after the management of a penetrating and perforating gun shot wound was presented. The missing part of the ureter was successfully replaced with an appendix. The technique of uretero-transappendixcystoneostomy complete with a Boari flap and a psoas hitch was used. Conclusion. By the use of an original combination of surgical techniques, a large defect of the ureter and the defect of the bladder, as well as the preservation of the renal function was achieved in a more successful manner.
