  ABSTRACT: Penetrating neck injuries are uncommon in children and a post traumatic common carotid artery to internal jugular vein fistula rarely occurs. We present one case of a 4-year-old girl with a penetrating injury from flying glass fragments in the midportion of the neck, caused by an explosion in a military warehouse. She was referred to our facility upon a request of a hospital of a neighbour country, two days after sustaining a penetrating cervical trauma. The presentation, diagnostic procedures and surgical management of this very rare injury are discussed. No neck penetrating trauma should be underestimated and a selective surgical intervention based on clinical examination and investigation tests findings is associated with good long-term outcomes.
