Life-threatening complications due to apparently minor penetrating neck injuries can occur. We present the case of a 16-year-old boy, who had what initially appeared to be a superficial stab wound to his neck. After further evaluation, he was found to have major injuries to his larynx and esophagus. This case underscores the importance of a careful evaluation after any penetrating neck injury, even one that initially appears to be trivial. The pertinent literature regarding penetrating neck trauma is reviewed.
看似轻微的颈部穿透伤可能会引发危及生命的并发症。我们报告一例16岁男孩的病例，他颈部最初看似是表浅刺伤。经过进一步评估，发现他的喉和食管受到了严重损伤。该病例强调了对任何颈部穿透伤进行仔细评估的重要性，即使最初看似微不足道。本文回顾了有关颈部穿透伤的相关文献。
