N2  - Survival following accidental ligature strangulation is quite rare. The present case involves an adult male strangulated by a soft cotton cloth entangled in the rotor of a machine. Unilateral neck compression allowed survival of the victim. The victim escaped with minimal injuries which were limited to contusion of the neck and edema of the vocal cords and inter arytenoid region.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
