  • Title: Shotgun pellet embolus of the middle cerebral artery treated by emergency embolectomy.
    Author: Haninec P, Houstava L, Klener J.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 1996 Jun; 10(3):311-4. PubMed ID: 8799546.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of traumatic embolization of a shotgun pellet in the middle cerebral artery. The patient was successfully treated by emergency embolectomy performed 12 h after the accident. The literature seems to support the protective role of surgical treatment against cerebral ischaemia and subsequent infarction in such cases.
