Resumo

Keyhole gunshot wounds to the cranium are rare and typically indicative of tangential wounds. The authors present an atypical keyhole gunshot wound to the parietal bone that exhibits a groove that gradually widens and deepens, terminating with an embedded bullet fragment (core). This appears to be the first report describing a groove or 'impact platform' indicating the entrance portion of a keyhole injury. This case provides information based on a multidisciplinary approach augmented with 3D photogrammetry that may explain the cranial wound pattern and variability associated with keyhole injuries in partial and complete crania.
