Gunshot wounds to the neck and viscerocranium are currently rare and are most often associated with violence, suicide attempts or improper handling of weapons. Although airguns have lower projectile velocity and lower penetrating power, they can still cause serious damage to the body and organs. A particularly dangerous area is the head and neck due to the complex and compact anatomical structure. In this paper, we present a case of a patient with multiple airgun wounds from a pellet gun as a result of a suicide attempt.
