“…This contamination of the wound is enhanced by debris that is sucked into the wound by cavitation. In addition, Tian et al18 found that in dogs, low‐velocity gunshot wounds, initially with 102 bacteria per gram of tissue contamination, increased to 103 to 104 per gram of tissue by 6 hours and 105 by 12 to 24 hours. Because 105 bacteria per gram is necessary to cause infection, these patients' wounds should be debrided early.…”

“…An impact velocity of 150 feet/second is required to penetrate skin, and 200 feet/second is required to fracture bone. 4 In addition, any wounding agent that delivers an impact force of 58 pounds is capable of producing significant injury. Compared with ballistic standards of the police 38-special revolver with a muzzle velocity of 582 feet/second and 151 foot-pound of kinetic energy, the force required to severely injure a person is minimal.…”

There are more than 200 million private firearms in the United States today. Firearm-associated deaths are the second leading cause of mortality for men 1 to 38 years of age. There are many studies in the literature concerning the management of high-velocity gunshot injuries to the head and neck. However, there are no studies in the English language literature concerning the management of isolated low-velocity gunshot wounds to the paranasal sinuses. We retrospectively reviewed 35 patients treated for low-velocity gunshot wounds of the paranasal sinuses between 1985 and 1994 at Kings County Hospital Center. The injuries sustained by these patients were less severe than previously reported for high-velocity missile or shotgun injuries. The management of these injuries is outlined with emphasis on (1) indications for angiographic studies, (2) airway management, and (3) indications for operative removal of bullet fragments.

“…Nevertheless, they are fast enough to penetrate the cranium and paranasal sinuses [1] [2]. 50% of these guns have velocities higher than 500 fps while only 200 fps is enough to fracture a bone [3]. Air gun pellet injury can cause serious damage in soft tissues and bone.…”

Air guns and rifles are usually considered to be harmless. Even though these firearms are categorized as toys, injuries with these are quite common in children and adolescents. The most common reason for these types of injuries is accidents and negligence. In this case report we present a 17-year-old male, admitted to the emergency department with a 5 mm incision below his left eye. In the CT imaging a pellet was seen lodged in the cribriform plate. It pierced through the ethmoid sinus. The patient was admitted to the inpatient clinic and managed conservatively with antibiotherapy. A review of literature was performed to find out the best strategy to reach an optimized outcome and evaluate probable complications.
