Bullet embolism
Intravascular migration of a projectile after vascular entry, carried by blood flow to a location remote from the entry wound. Presents at autopsy as a bullet in an anatomical site disconnected from any wound track. Identified by pre-dissection full-body radiography. Documented in the Mattox-Beall series (Houston, 1979-1996) and the Velmahos series (1998).
