[Sonographic localization of a bullet in the pericardium].
We report a case of pericardial localisation of a bullet by sonography. The metallic foreign body could be demonstrated by its typical sonographic appearance of a strongly echogenic lesion with acoustic reverberation artefacts. Sonography proved superior to the other diagnostic modalities including computed tomography.
