Abstract

Successful step-by-step treatment of a combined gunshot shrapnel injury of the brain, damaging the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) branches, and penetrating myocardium injury is discussed. Open brain and heart surgeries were performed. A left MCA pseudoaneurysm was formed postoperatively. Endovascular exclusion of the left MCA pseudoaneurysm was performed using detachable micro coils. Finally, plastic reconstruction of the posttraumatic cranial vault defect was performed using a dynamic titanium plate. Treatment of severe combined gunshot shrapnel brain injury with formation of MCA pseudoaneurysm and a penetrating myocardium injury requires a multimodal approach involving related specialists (neurosurgeon, cardiosurgeon and interventional radiologist).
