Abstract
Cut throat injuries are usually homicidal rather than suicidal, presenting with challenging air way compromise and blood loss secondary to damage of vital structures in the neck. We present a case of cut throat injury- a suicidal attempt of a psychologically normal young adult in attempt to pacify his family dispute which was repaired with the assistance of fiberoptic endoscopy.
