Abstract
We report the case of a stroke due to a ballistic thoracic traumatism. The vascular injury, provoked by the passage of the bullet, associated to a procoagulating state led to the formation of a thrombus in the ascending aorta. The migration of this thrombus caused a stroke, finally reversible upon medical treatment only.
