Sumario:Penetrating neck injuries constitute 5-10% of all trauma cases. These injuries may cause life-threatening suppurative or vascular complications, but the severity and extent of damage depends upon the inflicting object and the involved structures.

We present a rare case of a foreign body embedded in the neck causing tinnitus and foreign body sensation.
