TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Uncommon shot to the head JO - Notarzt A1 - Frank, M. A1 - Fischer, L. A1 - Ekkernkamp, A. A1 - Beule, A.G. SP - 114 EP - 116 VL - 27 IS - 3 N2 - In Germany, gunshot injuries are very rare conditions in prehospital emergency medicine. Based on a case report of a suicidal shot to the mouth using a blank cartridge actuated shooting device (vole captive bolt device) we describe the particularities of this uncommon injury pattern. In particular, the relevant differences to injuries due to captive bolt pistols (slaughterer's guns) are discussed. © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart.
