Popis:	Penetrating injury in the neck is not an uncommon condition, but a perforating foreign body like bamboo in the neck is uncommon. A 36 years old young man was admitted in Otolaryngology and Head Neck surgery department, Mymensingh Medical College hospital, with a history of accidental perforating injury in the neck with a bamboo, while driving a vehicle (tempo). Clinical examination revealed a bamboo measuring 4.6 X 0.09 ft. perforated in his neck from left to right. Surprisingly great vessels and air way spared. Due to difficult intubation, elective tracheostomy was done. Neck was explored and foreign body removed under general anesthesia. Haemostasis ensured and wound closed in layers after putting drain tubes. Recovery was uneventful and was discharged after three weeks.
