    Author: Hewett KM, Mellick L.
    Journal: Pediatr Emerg Care; 2012 Jan; 28(1):49-51. PubMed ID: 22217886.
    Abstract:
    Penetrating injuries to the neck are potentially devastating, and recommendations concerning their evaluation have generated extensive discussion over the years. In this article, we present the case of a 9-year-old girl who narrowly missed a serious vascular injury when she fell on a pencil. We also discuss the most current recommendations concerning management of zone II injuries to the neck of a pediatric patient.
