Thoracic Trauma is responsible for 25% of all the deaths. Although blunt thoracic traumas are more common than penetrating thoracic traumas, penetrating thoracic traumas are more likely to require immediate life-saving interventions than blunt injury. Case Report: Penetrating thoracic trauma by circular saw is defined very rare in the literature. In this article, we present a rare and interesting penetrating thoracic trauma cause which opened a window on anterior chest wall, created open pneumothorax and treated successfully in our department. Conclusion: We believe that circular saw injury, a rare cause of penetrating thoracic trauma, can be successfully treated with the correct and timely intervention in the emergency department.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessTraumaThoracicPenetratingSurgeryArticle1038587N/AWOS:000500776000006
