SUMMARY: Several vital structures, of both the aerodigestive and vascular systems, are contained in the cervical regions. Cervical lesions have high complexity and high morbidity and mortality. They are more common in young men inserted in a context of violence. The objective of this study was to demonstrate an injury by firearm with transfixation of the trachea, approached by cervicotomy in which was performed a termino-terminal anastomosis of the affected segment. The patient presented satisfactory clinical and surgical outcomes.
