ABSTRACT
Penetrating neck trauma is a horrifying injury. Patients may present with sudden death, or life threatening injuries such as catastrophic haemorrhage, major vessel injury, injuries to the respiratory or digestive tract, neurological deficits, or bony injuries of the cervical spine. Other less life threatening symptoms may be associated with such injuries.

He presented one month later with an abscess in the posterior triangle of the neck.
