Özet
All penetrating neck wounds are potentially dangerous and require emergency treatment because there are important vessels, nerves and organs in the neck. We present the case of a patient who had an unusual penetrating neck injury caused by a broken windshield, noticed accidentally. Because fragments of windshield glass consist of sharp material, and the neck contains vital structures, such penetrating neck injury may cause life-threatening complications. Radiological examinations should be offered before the management of all neck wounds. The risk of retained foreign bodies and related complications can be prevented by using fluoroscopy during surgical exploration of the neck. © 2006 Blackwell Publishing Ltd and Medicalhelplines.com Inc.
