Abstract
- A young male with a low general condition following an impalement injury in the neck from a foreign body of unknown nature is described. Considering the existing controversy in management of penetrating neck injuries we prefer a delayed extraction following primarily a hemodynamic stability with subsequent radiological exploration. The salient features of management are discussed with a rational suggestion for a better prognosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
