Abstract
A 31 year old male presented with a penetrating oropharyngeal injury following a motor vehicle collision and was found to have a retained metallic foreign body suspected to be part of a vape pen. The foreign body was abutting the carotid artery and was removed via a combined transoral and transcervical approach. This case highlights a novel mechanism of head and neck trauma and emphasizes the importance of understanding a wide spectrum of unique injuries.
