Dormant Shotgun Pellets-Are They Really Dormant?

Abstract

Shruti Dhingra and Aparna Mahajan

Shotgun injuries are serious but uncommon type of injury in India. Embedded shotgun pellets have widespread functional and aesthetic implications. No specific guidelines are available as to which pellets need immediate removal. Most pellets are known to lie dormant in the body while some present with complications and warrant removal many years after injury. We hereby report a case of homicidal shotgun injury that was sustained 22 years ago and needed pellet removal due to excruciating pain.
