Abstract
Civilian gunshot wounds to the brain are associated with high overall mortality; however, outcomes can vary significantly depending on bullet trajectory. This report details the outcome of a patient who sustained a bifrontal gunshot wound with multiple associated calvarial and frontal sinus fractures. Although surgery for penetrating brain injury is most frequently employed for relief of mass effect and decompression of vital structures, this case report describes a more comprehensive technique involving duroplasty, obliteration of the frontal sinus, and cranial vault reconstruction with the aim of decreasing the rate of cerebrospinal fluid leak, infection, reoperation, and readmission.
