Abstract : Penetrating neck injuries by traditional weapons are rare entity in the modern era of sophisticated weapons. We report an unusual case of penetrating neck injury by a metallic arrow entering anterior neck in zone II and its tip coming out of neck posteriorly causing difficulty for patient to lie down as well as posing challenge to intubate. Arrows are low velocity projectile and from a close proximity they can cause penetrating trauma similar to a low powered handgun. Management of the case was discussed.
