Abstract
Trauma to the neck poses a unique set of challenges owing to the presence of multiple important structures lying in close proximity to each other. A thorough understanding of the anatomy of the neck as well as having a step wise approach for timely evaluation and management, are crucial in identifying and managing neck injuries. Trauma to the neck can occur due to blunt or penetrating mechanisms. Though the injury patterns may differ, the initial management is similar and follows an algorithm based approach based on anatomic landmarks as well as patient stability. Various imaging and diagnostic modalities are available and are utilized in the prompt diagnosis of cerebrovascular and aerodigestive neck injuries.
