Most penetrating neck injuries (PNIs) in Japan involve stab wounds. Such neck injuries are increasing through urban violence, and also include deliberate self-harm. Neck injuries penetrating the platysma or sternocleidomastoid muscle are rare. We report herein on a 27-year-old man with a direct injury of the right common carotid artery as the result of a suicide attempt, who was able to leave the hospital with no complications.
