Abstract
Facial trauma with retention of foreign material in the wound is of common occurrence. But foreign body impaction secondary to trauma in the neck is rare. Though such cases are common as part of occupational hazards, we rarely come across such cases related to road traffic accidents. Here we present a case report of impacted glass piece in the neck, secondary to a road traffic accident.
