A descriptive catalogue of the Warren Anatomical Museum/947
947. A deep incised wound in the body of the first dorsal vertebra.
From a young man who was stabbed in the middle of the right side of the neck, with a broad and sharp knife. The hemorrhage, which was very copious, was arrested; the common carotid being tied, though it was subsequently found uninjured. After this he rallied well; but on the second clay phlegmonous inflammation came on about the wound, and he died seventy-eight hours after the injury. (Med. Jour. Vol. LXIX. p. 98.) Vertebrae prepared by Dr. H., and dried. 1863.
