J A Chalmers1, T R Graham, P G Magee.   

Abstract

Penetrating injuries of the chest in civilian practice are rare. A case is presented of an unusual injury with a large wooden chair fragment which remained concealed for several days until the development of life threatening complications. Aspects of the evaluation of penetrating thoracic injuries are discussed.
