Abstract
Özet:
Baş ve boyun bölgesi, yaşamsal öneme sahip çok sayıda anatomik yapıyı barındırmaktadır. Bu nedenle diğer anatomik bölgelere göre, baş ve boyunun ateşli silah yaralanmalarında, yaşamı tehdit eden klinik durumlar daha sık meydana gelmektedir. Bu makalede, mermi çekirdeğinin vücuda girdikten sonra, izlediği seyir göz önüne alındığında, servikal vertebralara doğru yönelmiş iken, sonrasında sıradışı bir yol izleyen bir baş-boyun kurşunlanma vakası sunulmuştur. Ateşli silah yaralanmalarında, kurşun beklenmedik bir yolu takip edebilir. Baş ve boyun bölgesi önemli nörovasküler yapılara sahip olduğu için bu bölgenin yaralanmaları hayatı tehdit edebilmektedir. Dolayısıyla hastanın ilk değerlendirilmesi dikkatli yapılmalıdır.

Abstract
Head and neck regions include many vital anatomical
structures; therefore, firearm injuries of these regions
threaten life more commonly than the other anatomical
regions. In spite of the bullet’s heading towards the cervical vertebrae after a gunshot, this case-report has been
presented as a head and neck firearm injury taking the
unusual path into account after the bullet had entered the
body.
In the firearm injuries, the bullet may follow an unexpected path. Head and neck injuries are life threatening causes including major neurovascular structures; therefore,
demonstrative assessment is important after the first careful evaluation
