Blunt Penetrating and Strangulating; Suicidal Homicidal Accidental and Sport-Related Neck Injuries: a Case Series and Literature Review

摘要

Introduction:Presentation of neck injuries in ER can be with or without neurological deficit. Trauma victims with multiple injuries should be examined for neck injuries as these injuries are potentially life threatening. Further neck movement should be restricted by applying the cervical collar until further radiological investigations rule out the spine injury. Early identification and treatment of neck injuries whether spine, vascular, or muscular injury improve the morbidity and mortality in polytrauma patients.
