Abstract
In the context of Indian combat scenario, maxillofacial injuries from gunshots are uncommon. The first section of this study is a case report of a rare instance of metal foreign bodies that were lodged in the parapharyngeal space, deeper to the deep lobe of the parotid right next to the carotid space in the neck. The second section focusses on the unique treatment for blast injuries as well as the variety of imaging procedures that are readily available to assist with surgery, such as plain film, CT, angiography, and occasionally MR imaging. According to the study, understanding the pertinent anatomy, precise imaging of the penetrating object in relation to vital structures, meticulously planned and conducted surgical removal of the foreign body, and repair of damaged structures are the key elements of a successful treatment.
