Department of Otolaryngology, Pohja Military Hospital, Oulu, Finland.

We present a case in which a blunt external trauma caused a perforating wound in the hypopharynx without any superficial damage on the skin of the neck. Deep cervical emphysema and general signs of systemic infection followed. The wound was sutured through an endoscope and the patient recovered uneventfully. The importance of the early diagnosis is emphasized.
