Doubts about procedures are common within the medical field, especially within the area of surgical clinic or medical surgery. In view of this explanation, the present was limited to carrying out a literary review on the subject of penetrating cervical trauma. To this end, research was carried out in databases linked to health and medicine, with specific descriptors for the subject, and articles from the years 2000 to 2020 were selected to clarify the subject. Penetrating cervical traumas are injuries to the neck that go beyond the platysma muscle. There is currently a great debate about the conduct to be adopted in such injuries. Penetrating cervical trauma comprises 5% to 10% of traumatic injuries in adults. In the last decade, mortality from penetrating cervical trauma was approximately 5%. The initial approach in the emergency room should be systematized in order to quickly identify possible signs of severity that usually require the immediate transfer of the patient to the operating room. Clinical examinations should be performed in order to elucidate and direct the surgeon to the best treatment for the patient. Finally, it is possible to conclude that cervical injuries are better treated with selective management.

Objetivo: Descrever o caso raro de elevação dos níveis de CA 19-9 na presença de Síndrome de Mirizzi, uma afecção benigna do trato biliar, sem relação com a presença de doença maligna. Relato de caso: Mulher, 61 anos, admitida ao serviço de emergência com história de dor abdominal em epigástrio, com irradiação para hipocôndrio direito e dorso, associada a episódios de náuseas e vômitos, além de quadro de icterícia com colúria e acolia fecal. Durante investigação diagnóstica apresentava CA 19-9 de 8.962U/mL, foi realizada colangioressonância, a qual evidenciou imagem sugestiva de síndrome de Mirizzi. Paciente submetida colecistectomia videolaparoscópica associada a colangiopancreatografia retrógrada com passagem de dreno plástico intra-colédoco, apresentando intensa drenagem de conteúdo biliar para duodeno. No seguimento, paciente permaneceu sem intercorrências ou evidências de doença maligna, com redução dos níveis séricos de CA 19-9 para 28,9U/mL após 12 semanas da cirurgia. Considerações finais: A síndrome de Mirizzi, ainda que pouco frequente, é uma das possibilidades etiológicas para a elevação do marcador tumoral CA 19-9. É um diagnóstico benigno para situações que cursam com elevação do antígeno carboidrato de superfície celular, que tem seu valor de referência normalizado após tratamento cirúrgico do processo obstrutivo.
