title: [Unchanged ability following temporal gunshot injury with multiple intracerebral gunshot pellets].
abstract: The case of a 25-year-old male schizophrenic patient is reported, who with suicidal intent wounded himself in the left temporal region, using a shotgun. Despite having about 30 intacerebral smallshot, he remained continuously conscious. The clinical neurological status did not reveal any abnormalities in the course of treatment. The differing results of CT and NMR examination are reported. Finally, the complications reported in the literature are discussed.
