    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Emergency Medicine

    Background:

    • Penetrating neck injuries can present with subtle external signs.
    • Supraglottic obstruction is a critical airway emergency.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with a penetrating temporal injury.
    • The entry wound appeared innocuous, masking significant underlying damage.

    Findings:

    • Extensive occult injury to the supraglottic region was present.
    • The injury led to severe airway obstruction.

    Implications:

    • Emphasizes the need for comprehensive diagnostic evaluation in penetrating head and neck trauma.
    • Highlights potential for delayed diagnosis and management of critical airway compromise.
