Abstract
Missile embolization is a rare phenomenon with most cases reported in the literature as a consequence of direct or indirect vascular trauma. Despite their characterization as toys, traumatic injuries from pellet guns are associated with significant rates of morbidity related to their vascular and neurological complications. We present a 9-year-old boy who was shot in the chest with a pellet gun and suffered a femoral arterial occlusion and a delayed stroke in the middle cerebral arterial distribution.
