Abstract

Internal gunshot wounds in the head and neck region are complicated. Two cases of such injuries in the head and neck region are introduced and therapeutic approaches are discussed. If there are no severe additional injuries, the treatment of choice is the endoscopic removal of the projectile. Alternatively, the projectile has to be taken out by conventional surgery, using the approach which induces the least stress for the patient.
