This case report describes the first use of mediastinoscopy for the evaluation of a projectile injury and concomitant removal of the projectile. The described treatment made it possible to avoid the significant morbidity associated with mediansternotomy or thoracotomy. Complications secondary to retained mediastinal foreign bodies including infection, migration, and perforation were also avoided.
