Abstract
Penetrating wounds of the neck with foreign bodies retention are frequent and often life-threatening events, and their management has changed in recent years from an open approach to a conservative approach thanks to the possibility of performing minimally invasive radiologically guided surgery. We present a case of penetrating glass injury to zone III of the neck in which the foreign body go through the parotid region passing near, but without injuring, the facial nerve and the external and internal carotid arteries.
