Abstract
The head and neck region contains many vital anatomical structures. Knife and gunshot wounds are the most common cause of penetrating trauma, although many objects may cause an injury with the characteristics of a stab wound. In this case, a metal object of approximately 3 cm penetrated the deep neck structures with no serious damage to neurovascular structures. The distance between the entry area and the area where the foreign body was seen caused a delay in diagnosis in the Emergency Department.
