    Area of Science:

    • Trauma surgery
    • Head and neck surgery
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Cervicofacial injuries can be severe, involving complex anatomical structures.
    • Parotid gland injuries require careful surgical exploration to preserve function.

    Observation:

    • A 16-year-old male sustained a deep right cervicofacial laceration from a broken bottle assault.
    • Surgical exploration revealed a parotid gland split along its cleavage plane.

    Findings:

    • The traumatic split preserved the facial nerve and major cervical blood vessels.
    • The injury pattern uniquely simulated a surgical suprafacial parotidectomy.

    Implications:

    • This case demonstrates a rare traumatic mechanism with surgical relevance.
    • Understanding such injuries is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management in emergency settings.
