  ABSTRACT: Appropriate management of penetrating trauma to the thorax requires knowledge of vulnating agents, as well as the principles of ballistic injury. The importance of the approach’s choice for surgical exploration of these injuries, and parietal damage, is an essential factor in decision making in the management and definition of the therapeutic strategy for these injuries. The authors report a clinical case of a penetrating traumatic ballistic wound of the thorax managed in a context of difficult diagnosis in the surgical Unit of the CHUPB.
