Nail gun injuries usually occur at the extremities due to working accidents. Intracranial or intrathoracic injuries are relatively rare, and cases combined with both injuries are even rarer. Such situations pose challenges for surgeons due to their uniqueness during operation. Radiologic imaging findings in our case were significant in indicating surgical findings. Herein, we report a patient who shot himself using a nail gun, damaging his brain and heart.
钉枪伤通常因工作事故发生在四肢。颅内或胸内损伤相对少见,而同时合并这两种损伤的病例更为罕见。由于这类情况在手术过程中的独特性,给外科医生带来了挑战。我们病例中的放射影像学表现对提示手术发现具有重要意义。在此,我们报告一名使用钉枪自伤,导致脑部和心脏受损的患者。
