Özet:

 

Background: Penetrating neck injuries result from missiles
 and stab wounds. A gas pistol is a non-lethal weapon for selfdefence.
 Case Report: We present a case where the use of a modified gun led
 to multiple injuries in a single shot. Four projectiles were embedded
 in the neck, one in the larynx and three in the cervical spine. The first was removed via a combined external and endoscopic approach,
 while the rest were put on follow-up.
 Conclusion: The reported case shows that damage from modified gas
 pistols, although rarely life threatening, may cause long term discomfort
 and diminished quality of life.
