A 20-year-old man presented with mild low back pain with no radicular irradiation. He was a poor historian, but recalled a gunshot wound 8 years previously that did not have any major clinical implications. Imaging studies showed a bullet in the middle of the intervertebral disc at L3–L4 (Figs. 1–3). There was no clinical or laboratory evidence of lead poisoning [1,2]. Nonsurgical care was recommended.

Abstract
A 20-year-old man presented with mild low back pain with no radicular irradiation. He was a poor historian, but recalled a gunshot wound 8 years previously that did not have any major clinical implications. Imaging studies showed a bullet in the middle of the intervertebral disc at L3–L4 (Figs. 1–3). There was no clinical or laboratory evidence of lead poisoning [1,2]. Nonsurgical care was recommended.File in questo prodotto:
