Intracardiac Migration of a Firearm Projectile in a Fantasia Horse Rider: A Case Report

Décio Gilberto Natrielli-Filho*

The fantasia is a traditional folkloric equestrian performance in Morocco. It’s performed in cultural events and festivals. However, there is a risk of accidents due to the use of firearms. These accidents are rare and usually involve the peripheral organs. In some cases, the projectiles can migrate to the heart. The intracardiac migration is an exceptional event. We report the case of a 60-year-old horse rider and fantasia enthusiast who had accidental firearm injury to the right leg with intracardiac migration of the projectile.
