AB - Penetrating wounds of the neck are rare traumas in children, providers of mortality and high morbidity due
to the density of the vital structures of this region and the lack of protection. Their management, a real
challenge for the surgeon, has evolved over the years, going from systematic exploration to more selective
management. We report the case of an 8-year-old child, victim of a penetrating cervical trauma after falling
on a stick to the partner, who was successfully treated at the Rabat Children's Hospital. We will also discuss
the emergency management methods for these cervical injuries.
