ABSTRACT
Gunshot wounds are unpredictable and require early, precise diagnosis and treatment. A penetrating gunshot wound can be fatal due to compromised airway, hypovolemic shock, lead poisoning and infection. This case report describes a 48-year-old male patient who had a suicidal gunshot wound on the right temporomandibular joint area using an air rifle. We successfully managed the patient by preoperative embolization, surgical removal of the foreign body and primary closure.
