Successful repair of a gunshot wound to the head with retained bullet in the torcular herophili.
World Neurosurg. 2011 Sep-Oct; (3-4): 362.e1-4
Nonlethal missile injuries to the dural venous sinus system are rare. To date successful repair of isolated penetrating injury to the torcular herophili has not been reported without significant associated morbidity. We report the case of a gunshot wound injury to the occipital region with retained bullet fragment in the confluence of the sinuses causing traumatic sinus venous thrombosis.
