Shot in the womb

A fetus surviving a prenatal penetrating gunshot injury is rarely encountered. We report the case of a 26-week pregnant mother shot in the abdomen. Her uterine wound was missed at exploration, and when the baby was born 6 weeks later, the bullet was found in the superficial soft tissues of his posterior neck. It was removed without difficulty, and the baby, our youngest trauma patient ever, recovered without sequelae. Keywords: Fetal trauma, Penetrating injury, Pediatric trauma, Gunshot injur
