Gunshot wounds of the neck are diagnostically and therapeutically challenging cases and treatment should be individualized and multidisciplinary. We present an unusual case of bullet injury to the neck. A fourteen year old male patient sustained an accidental bullet injury to the submental area of the neck, with no serious injuries to the vital structures. The bullet was found close to the epiglottis, embedded in the pharynx between the base of the tongue and the lower pole of the left tonsil. The patient underwent successful endoscopic removal with no serious postoperative complications. In this paper, this case is discussed, its presentation and management, together with literature review.
颈部枪伤在诊断和治疗上都是具有挑战性的病例，治疗应个体化且采用多学科方法。我们呈现一例不寻常的颈部子弹伤病例。一名14岁男性患者颈部颏下区域意外中弹，重要结构未受严重损伤。子弹在会厌附近被发现，嵌于舌根底部与左侧扁桃体下极之间的咽部。患者接受了成功的内镜取出术，术后无严重并发症。本文讨论了该病例的表现、处理方法，并进行了文献综述。
