A teenage boy presented to the emergency department with an accidental self-inflicted airgun injury to his perineum. Examination showed a small entry wound in the scrotal skin and the testes were normal. X-ray of the pelvis showed the pellet in the perineum without definite localization. Perineal sonography was performed preoperatively, which precisely localized the pellet in the perineal soft tissues for easy exploration and removal.

Key Words: perineal sonography • adolescent injury
