Résumé
Penetrating neck injuries causing rupture of sternocleidomastoid muscle along with transection of major vessels of the neck have significant morbidity and mortality due to the risk of severe hemorrhage and cerebral infarction. However, there are no universal guidelines for the management of penetrating neck injuries. Here, we report a case of a 67-year-old female with a lacerated wound on the left side of the neck with a complete transection of the left sternocleidomastoid muscle along with transection of internal jugular vein and two superficial branches of internal carotid artery following penetrating injury to the neck by a bamboo stick. It was managed by emergency wound exploration with ligation of the injured vessels with repair of sternocleidomastoid muscle. Post-operatively the hemorrhage was controlled and the patient was discharged on the fourth postoperative day. Thus, in a case of penetrating injury to the neck, prompt surgical wound exploration is beneficial.
