Reports on the management of chainsaw penetrating laryngotracheal injuries are limited. These injuries can be catastrophic because of possible injury to the carotid and vertebral arteries or neural and aerodigestive tract injury. A systemic and multidisciplinary approach is necessary when faced with this type injury. We present a 59-year-old carpenter with an accidental, and self-inflicted, chainsaw injury that afflicted anterior neck, larynx and posterior wall of pharynx.

Gunshot wounds of the neck are diagnostically and therapeutically challenging cases and treatment should be individualized and multidisciplinary. We present an unusual case of bullet injury to the neck. A fourteen-year-old male patient sustained an accidental bullet injury to the submental area of the neck, with no serious injuries to the vital structures. The bullet was found close to the epiglottis, embedded in the pharynx between the base of the tongue and the lower pole of the left tonsil. The patient underwent a successful endoscopic removal with no serious postoperative complications. In this paper, this case is discussed, its presentation and management, together with literature review.

“…In the presence of other major associated trauma, it is possible to overlook laryngotracheal injuries (Gussack et al, 1986;Thompson et al, 1987). Up to 37% of laryngeal injuries are delayed in diagnosis and have symptoms that are subtle or late in onset (Thompson et al, 1984).…”
