Introduction: on-fatal strangulation (NFS) is a dangerous mechanism that can produce injuries with varying levels of severity. NFS-related injuries can range from low severity, such as simple contusions, to very severe, with convulsions and major forms of impairment. It is often difficult to gauge the severity of injuries from external and initial manifestations alone; it is therefore necessary to assess the possibility of misdiagnosed injuries or subsequent manifestations. Case report: In this study, we describe the case of a 71-year-old man with several injuries, mainly in the craniofacial region, following an assault by his flatmate. Not only did the subject suffer a concussive head injury and a fracture of the zygomatic bone, but he was also subjected to NFS. The patient was examined three times, and the third examination was carried out directly by us 40 days after the assault. Discussion: We concluded that NFS-related injuries are not always clearly visible and recognized after some time. It would therefore be necessary to standardize the clinical investigation procedure in suspected or confirmed cases of NFS. Conclusion: Clinical investigation should be done from the first hours after the injury event, with the help of forensic experts, with the use of dedicated instrumentation and the acquisition of photographic images, all carried out in a systematic manner for use in court, and a search performed for after-effects that cannot be identified by other methods. Psychological evaluation should also be considered as part of the broader assessment process as victims of NFS often experience significant psychological trauma.
