Thoracoabdominal gunshot injuries represent some of the most challenging injuries. A 25 years-old man applied to emergency department in consequence of multiple gunshot wounds. Thoracoabdominal helical computed tomography (CT) no injury at the intrabdominal and intrathoracic tissues. There was only a subcutenous tissue laceration of 50 cm in length, through from thoracic to abdominal walls. The patient medically managed and no surgical intervention was performed due to thoracoabdominal injury. In conclusion a trajectory of gunshot may not always be straight as is in our case. Helical CT is a useful tool in determining the real trajectory and therefore reduces the ratio of unnecessary surgical interventions.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessGunshot InjuryThoracic WallIntraabdominalPenetrationAtypical Trajectory of a Thoracoabdominal Gunshot Injury without PenetrationAtypical Trajectory of a Thoracoabdominal Gunshot Injury without PenetrationArticle183203206WOS:0002826519000092-s2.0-7824925871110.4323/rjlm.2010.203Q4Q4
