Journal Title: International Journal of Surgery & Surgical Techniques - Year 2024, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Penetrating neck injury accounts for only a small incidence of all trauma case. The neck is a compact structure with vascular, neural and aerodigestive tract compacted closely.Trauma to the aerodigestive tract, neural structures, vascular structures can present with increased mortality and morbidity Case Presentation: The authors here report a peculiar case of 24 years old male presenting with Penetrating neck injury by a wooden foreign body. The patient was managed surgically without any related complications. The Foreign Body was found to be missing all the vital structures in the neck after thorough confirmation by imaging modalities and later intra-operative findings. Discussion: Due to the close vicinity of these structures, injury to vital structures is a very real and potentially life threatening complication. Associated vascular, Aerodigestive and neural injuries results in an increase in fatality rate up to 50% in some cases and may be associated with an increased risk of medianitis. Furthermore, wooden foreign body carries an increased risk of infectious, difficulty of detection in different imaging modalities. Foreign body neck is known for secondary displacement during neck movements, hence confirming that an early treatment is strongly recommended. Conclusion: Due to high risk of injury to vital structures and mortality prompt detection and management of penetrating injury neck should a high priority.
