Abstract
Children exposed to air gun pellets may also have a different clinical picture, from mild tissue damage to life-threatening injury. Although these weapons are known as toys, there has been a significant increase in the muzzle velocity of these weapons with advances in gas technology, recently.

Here, we report a 12-year-old boy who was injured by a random shot with an air gun, due to the features of his diagnosis and treatment. Key Words:
