See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The embolization of missiles to the intracranial circulation is a rare event. We describe here a case of a man shot by a shotgun, presenting with a posterior fossa stroke and occlusion of the superior cerebral artery by a metallic pellet. To our knowledge, this is a third case of posterior fossa circulation pellet emboli.
