Abstract

The escalating incidence of urban violence has positioned physical aggression as a predominant catalyst for head and neck injuries, constituting a significant etiological factor in mortality. Indeed, half of all deaths associated with harm involve the head and neck region. The current report elucidates a specific case stemming from physical aggression, wherein a 52-year-old male manifested post-incident swelling on the left side of the jaw. Clinical examination unveiled the presence of a cylindrical foreign body, subsequently identified as a wooden skewer, situated between the mandible and hyoid bone. Successful surgical intervention was conducted to remove the foreign object. This case accentuates the critical importance of precise diagnostic procedures and meticulous surgical planning in instances of neck trauma.
