Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the world. The incidence and pattern of suicide vary from country to country. Cultural, religious and social value plays a vital role. Hanging, poisoning, drowning are the common methods of committing suicide. Suicide by incising one's own throat without hesitation marks remains a rare, and only few cases have been reported in the forensic literature. We present here an unusual and rare case of self-inflicted cut throat injury of a 45-year old ex-military man without tentative cuts over the neck, which has resulted from a curved sharp weapon.
自杀是全球主要死因之一。各国的自杀发生率和模式各不相同。文化、宗教和社会价值观起着至关重要的作用。上吊、中毒、溺水是常见的自杀方式。毫不犹豫地割喉自杀且无试探性伤口的情况仍然罕见，法医文献中仅报道过少数案例。我们在此呈现一例不同寻常且罕见的案例，一名45岁的退役军人自伤割喉，颈部没有试探性伤口，凶器是一件弧形利器。
