Spontaneous expulsion of an intravesical bullet.
Gunshot wounds of the pelvis are not uncommon. Penetrating injuries of the bladder are usually documented by means of a cystogram. The patient reported here was shot with a small caliber bullet. No extravasation was demonstrated. The authors caution that not all penetrating injuries to the bladder will demonstrate extravasation on a properly performed cystogram.
