ABSTRACT
Perforation of the pharynx due to external blunt trauma is an uncommon type of pharyngeal injury. It can lead to serious complications such as deep neck infection, sepsis, mediastinitis, and even mortality if not promptly recognized and treated. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent severe consequences and long-term complications. If the size of the injury is less than 2 cm and there is no invasion of the esophagus or mediastinum, conservative, nonsurgical treatment may be appropriate. In this case report, we present a case of retropharyngeal wall perforation following external blunt neck trauma with literature review.
