Penetrating neck trauma, though rare, carries a high morbidity and mortality risk if not recognized promptly, due to the presence of vital neurovascular and airway elements within a closed compartment. We describe the unique presentation of a high zone 1 anterior midline cervical stab injury with bilateral large pneumothoraces and extensive pneumomediastinum. Understanding the respiratory mechanics and a high clinical suspicion will help to recognize such complications of tracheobronchial injuries and their timely management is key to salvage of these patients.
