IED Fragment Embolism to Left Posterior Cerebral Artery
Abstract
We present a case of an IED fragment embolism to the left posterior cerebral artery in the combat setting. Missile fragment embolization is a rarely reported finding, and to our knowledge, this case is only the fourth reported example of missile embolism to the posterior cerebrovascular circulation. In this expanded online edition, we present a spectrum of embolized metallic foreign bodies.
