Woman accidentally shot in the clitoris by stray bullet
A woman needed a stray bullet removed from her clitoris
after being accidentally shot.
The 24-year-old, from Somalia, was rushed to hospital in
severe pain after the 2cm bullet came through her ceiling
while she was sat in her living room.
The woman, who wasn’t named, had suffered the injury an hour
earlier.
CT scans revealed the bullet had become lodged inside her
clitoris after being fired into her vulva, meaning she
required surgery to have it safely removed.
Publishing grisly images of her injury in the International
Journal of Surgery Case Reports, doctors said they believe
the case is the first of its kind.
‘To the best of our knowledge, this case is unique due to
the bullet being retained in the clitoris’, they added.
The date of the incident was not revealed in the case report
by medics at Erdoğan Hospital in Mogadishu, the capital of
Somalia.
On arrival to hospital, the woman told the obstetrics and
gynaecology team that she had been sat in her lounge when
the stray bullet fell through the ceiling.
No other details of the incident were given.
