Introduction:

Pediatric cervical gun injuries have a low incidence, approximately 5 to 10%, with a mortality of 0 to 11%.

He was admitted to the Trauma hospital in hypovolemic shock, presenting almost immediate cardiorespiratory arrest, which responded to advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation. CT scan of the skull was normal at admission; on the 8th day it showed evident splintering in the basal venous system; CT of the neck: tracheal displacement and evident peri-tracheal air; Angio CT: pseudoaneurysm in left internal carotid artery. Fibrobronchoscopy: bruises at the tracheal level; EDA: esophagus and stomach with fibrin-covered erosions without evidence of fistula or hollow viscera perforation.
