Firearm bullet settling into the lumbar spinal canal without causing neurological deficit: A report of two cases.

CONCLUSION: Bullet settling into the lumbar spinal canal without causing neurological deficit may require surgical intervention. Removal of bullets provided not only pain relief in both the cases but also prevented future complications such as migration of the bullets, plumbism, and neuropathic pain and instability.
