title: Penetrating neck injury by a sickle.
abstract: CT scan is the most important investigation in patients with penetrating neck injury in which it can show the extent of internal injury which may be overlooked. Without CT scan being performed, one should not try to remove foreign body by just pulling blindly, as it can injure vital structures.
