Abstract:
Penetrating trauma to the face and upper zone III of the neck may present unique challenges when the parotid gland and associated neurovascular structures are involved. We report a case of massive hemorrhage from penetrating neck trauma that necessitated emergency parotidectomy for vascular exposure. Facial nerve repair was also necessary, underscoring the importance of this approach not only for successful vascular control but also for preservation of nearby vital structures. The management of penetrating trauma to the parotid region,and relevant anatomy, are discussed.
