title: [A singular bullet run in a firearm wound in the neck. A case report].
abstract: The paper deals with the peculiarities of a firearm wound regarding the dynamic of the accident and particularly considering the path followed by the bullet. The patient's firearm wound is described on the basis of the instrumental examinations done. These last give us a precious help to confirm the thesis, already guessed on the clinical examination of an introduction and path followed through the digestive tract, and to show the dynamics and the still positions of the bullet inside the patient's body. The bullet was expelled spontaneously by defecation. After control of no internal damages this firearm wound has been treated simply as a normal tip wound.
