 Gunshot injuries to the neck and maxillofacial region are associated with high morbidity and mortality due to the complex anatomy and presence of vital structures in this region. We present a unique case report of a self inflicted accidental shotgun injury. It is indeed a rare finding that a bullet travels through the neck region and does not damage any vital structures.
