Abstract

Assessment and management of neck trauma is complex and challenging. Due to the intricate network of structures, life-threatening injuries pose a real threat from blunt, penetrating or combined mechanisms. Close collaboration of surgical, anaesthetic and emergency department teams is essential in these cases. This article reviews current literature, with particular focus on mechanism of injury, principles of investigation and management.
