TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - External iliac artery injury secondary to indirect pressure wave effect from gunshot wound JO - Chinese journal of traumatology A1 - Ng, Eugene A1 - Choong, Andrew-Mtl SP - 134 EP - 135 VL - 19 IS - 3 N2 - In patients presenting with gunshot wounds, a high clinical suspicion of injury to vasculature and viscera remote from the projectile track is paramount. We present a case of a 17 year old male who sustained a gunshot wound to his abdomen and subsequently developed a right external iliac artery contusion requiring surgery as an indirect effect of the pressure wave from the bullet.
