Transoral Gunshot Injury Resulting in Mechanical Block to Cervical Rotation: A Case Report.

CASE
We report a case of self-inflicted transoral gunshot injury in a 24-year-old man resulting in mechanical block to cervical rotation. Anterior surgical removal of the pellet was successful with the patient experiencing no early or long-term functional deficits.


CONCLUSION
Given the rarity of a cervical spine injury from gunshot wound without long-term complications, this unique case supports the role of early operative management in such injuries.
