Unintentional Celebratory Gunshot to a 3-year-old Child with Injury to Deep Circumflex Iliac Artery - A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Forensic Science & Pathology (IJFP) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Celebratory firing is one of the causes of Unintentional firearm injuries. This paper reports a case of a 3-year-old female child who died following gunshot injury sustained in a marriage function she attended with her parents. The bullet entered from the right upper abdomen and injured deep circumflex iliac artery on the left side before perforating the left iliac blade and leaving the body. The rarity of the vessel injury caused the clinician to miss the hemoperitoneum initially which lead to hemorrhagic shock and finally death. This article discusses the mechanism of gunshot injury sustained by the girl, and also urges the government to implement strict laws to prevent such kind of accidents in the future.
