TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - A case of direct injury of the common carotid artery due to a suicide attempt JO - Practica Otologica A1 - Ohara, K. A1 - Wada, T. A1 - Moriai, S. A1 - Kanai, N. A1 - Harabuchi, Y. SP - 747 EP - 751 VL - 106 IS - 8 N2 - Most penetrating neck injuries (PNIs) in Japan involve stab wounds. Such neck injuries are increasing through urban violence, and also include deliberate self-harm. Neck injuries penetrating the platysma or sternocleidomastoid muscle are rare. We report herein on a 27-year-old man with a direct injury of the right common carotid artery as the result of a suicide attempt, who was able to leave the hospital with no complications.
