Gunshot wounds are now becoming more frequent as a result of urban violence. Projectile migration to the lumen of the airways is very rare and requires multidisciplinary management. This is a case of a 38-year-old woman attacked by third parties, with multiple gunshot wounds to the face and craneum that initially presents a projectile in the face, which is subsequently aspirated into the airway requiring its extraction by bronchoscopy. This type of patient requires the management of several specialties to solve the problem.
