title: [An unusual case of gunshot wounds caused with an air gun].
abstract: A 28-year-old woman was shot in the face with an air gun while driving a car. The patient was examined in the Department of Forensic Medicine in Katowice. An inconspicuous scar was found near the medial angle of the right eye. Further ophthalmological and radiological examinations revealed the presence of small foreign bodies in the vitreous body of the right eye, the sphenoid sinus and the ethmoid cells. The authors issued an expert opinion, in which they stated that the sustained injuries had not caused any significant organ dysfunction.
