ABSTRACT
Bullet injuries to the spine can cause significant damage to surrounding tissues and cause serious neurological sequelae. These cases are often associated with neurological deficits. We present a case of a gunshot injury to the spine with a migrating intrathecal bullet which subsequently developed neurological deficits. Initially, the patient did not exhibit any neurological symptoms when first assessed soon after the injury. Subsequently, the patient developed signs of neurological injury as a result of spinal intrathecal migration of the projectile.
