    AbstractIntravascular foreign body emboli, although first reported in 1834, are rare sequelae of penetrating injuries. We report a case of missile embolus to the pulmonary artery after penetrating injury to the left iliac vein and artery. A review of the literature and discussion of appropriate management are presented.
