“…2 The socio demographic factors are of particular interest in this case as it has been seen according to a study done by De et al that males accounted for about 86.06% of the cases. 3 People coming under the non-waged workers group are more commonly affected. 4 This is more commonly observed amongst the males since they are the breadwinners in most of the families.…”

Introduction Cut throat injuries are well recognized in homicide but less recognized in suicides. The incidence of suicide is increasing worldwide owing to the more stressful strenuous lifestyle and other risk factors like substance abuse. Suicide by incising one’s own throat is associated with hesitation marks whereas homicidal wounds are not. Case Report We present an interesting case of a suicidal cut throat of the victim being a butcher who was on alcohol abstinence since 3 days with severe injuries of supraglottic larynx and cricopharynx, surprisingly without any evidence of hesitation marks. He underwent immediate neck exploration and suturing of the injured structures without the need of a tracheostomy. Discussion A multidisciplinary approach by Otolaryngologists, Psychiatrists, Intensivists, and Anaesthetists is required in the effective management of these victims. A thorough proper early assessment can totally avoid the need of tracheostomy which is recommended in practice, hence preventing complications arising out of this unnecessary but advocated procedure.

Cut neck injuries are sharp incised injuries in the neck which if not treated promptly may lead to lifetime morbidity or even death of the patient. To study the socio-demographical pattern, various modes of injury and the management of cut neck injuries. This study was conducted in Tezpur Medical College from the time period of 01/01/20 to 31/12/21. A total of 28 cases of cut neck injuries were included in the study after obtaining proper consent from the patient party. The socio- demographic pattern, modes of injury and the treatment provided were recorded and analysed. Out of 28 cases, 18 were males and 10 females. Majority of the cases were suicidal (15), followed by homicidal (10) and accidental (3). Patients from rural areas were 19 whereas 3 cases were from urban population. Tracheostomy was needed in 10 cases. Cut neck injuries are serious injuries that need prompt treatment, failing to which can be life threatening to the patient. In our study we found that most of the patients were from lower socioeconomic background from rural areas. We also found that male were more commonly affected than females with a male to female ratio of 1.8:1. Most of the injuries were suicidal in nature.
