Abstract
We report the surgical treatment of a thoracic knife injury with lesions of the aorta and the myelon. An initially incomplete revision of the wound nearly resulted in a critical situation. Complete revision of a wound is obligatory in a penetrating injury, when a relevant structure is possibly injured.
