Sometimes we just can't believe what this world has come to.. . This is a horrible case of a fetus, who was delivered via cesarean section in 32th gestational week from a 37-year-old mother who sustained multiple gunshots. . Post-natal evaluation revealed eight entry–exit holes. Upon admission, peripheral pulses were nonpalpable, appropriate fluid administration and blood transfusion were conducted and further examinations revealed bladder perforation. Bladder was repaired over a suprapubic catheter and bullet holes were primarily sutured. Left foot drop was observed on follow up and the patient was luckily discharged with no further complication. . Although the maternal and the fetal morbidity and mortality rates are high in intrauterine gunshot wounds, appropriate management may provide survival as seen in this case.
