ABSTRACT
Foreign bodies in the throat and/or neck are uncommon and transpharyngeal impaction of a wooden foreign body in the neck without vascular injury is very rare. The patient presented in this communication, reported to our center five days after severe physical assault with a pharyngocutaneous fistula in the left side of the neck. Clinical examination and X-rays were unremarkable. Conservative treatment led to healing of the fistula and he was discharged. Two weeks later he was readmitted with an abscess in the right supraclavicular region. Exploration under general anaesthesia revealed a 7 cm long wooden fragment of a spear in the abscess cavity. The fragment was removed. After several days' antibiotic treatment, he recovered fully and was discharged.
