Gunshot wounds to the neck are considered among the most serious and life-threatening injuries due to the anatomical complexity of the neck and its vital structures. Surviving a perforating wound to the neck depends on various factors, including the location of the injury, the caliber of the weapon used, the type of bullet, the distance from which the patient was shot, prompt medical intervention, and the overall health of the individual. We report a case of miraculous survival following a perforating gunshot wound to the neck, in which no surgical intervention was required. Reconstruction of the bullet trajectory was performed using CT images and a virtual dissection table, Anatomage (Anatomage Inc., California, US), to facilitate the analysis of the factors that contributed to the patient's survival.
由于颈部解剖结构复杂且包含重要结构，颈部枪伤被认为是最严重且危及生命的损伤之一。颈部贯通伤患者能否存活取决于多种因素，包括损伤部位、所用武器的口径、子弹类型、患者被射击的距离、及时的医疗干预以及个体的整体健康状况。我们报告一例颈部贯通枪伤后奇迹般存活的病例，该病例无需手术干预。利用CT图像和美国加利福尼亚州Anatomage公司的虚拟解剖台Anatomage进行子弹轨迹重建，以助于分析促成患者存活的因素。
