Abstract
The literature contains few reports of migratory intrathecal bullets. Treatment of this kind of injury remains controversial. This paper presents one case of a migratory intrathecal bullet at the lumbar level. A Foley catheter was used to effect its removal. This alternative technique demonstrated a safe and simple method of treatment. Keywords: gunshot injury, migratory bullet, intrathecal
