Bu yaralarda orijin sıklıkla cinayettir ve genellikle tek ve derin kesik bulunmaktadır. Boğazlamada seyrek de olsa  orijin intihardır ya da kazadır. İntiharda ölüme neden olan kesici  alet yarasına genellikle tereddüt kesileri eşlik ederler.  Olgumuz, evinde ölü bulunan 47 yaşındaki erkektir. Olgumuzun  otopsi incelemesinde, kişide boyun ön yüzde 1 adet öldürücü nitelikte kesici delici alet yarası ile buna eşlik eden tereddüt kesileri  saptandı. Cesetten alınan örneklerin kimyasal analizlerinde herhangi bir madde saptanmadı. Kişinin ölümünün kesici delici alet  yaralanmalarına bağlı boyun organlarından farenks, epiglot, troid  ve derin adale grupları tam kat kesileri ile birlikte, boyun büyük  damarları kesilerine bağlı dış kanama ve solunum yetmezliği sonucu meydana geldiği rapor edildi. Adli tahkikat dosyasına göre lise  yıllarından beri alkol kullanıcısı olduğu, 2 yıl önce her iki el bileğini  yaralama ile intihar girişiminde bulunmuş olduğu ve son 2 yıldır  peşinde birilerinin olduğu, kendisini takip ettikleri gibi paranoid  düşüncelere sahip olduğu ancak psikiyatrik tedavi görmediği kayıtlıdır. Bu olgu, orijin açısından ilginç bulunması nedeniyle sunuldu.</p></abstract>

                            <p>When sharp force injuries are on the anterior part of the neck, they  are called cut-throat injuries. In these injuries, the origin is most  frequently homicide, and generally there is only one deep cut. In  cut-throats, the origin is rarely suicide or accident. In suicide, there  are also hesitation cuts accompanying the cutting-edged implement wound, which is the cause of death.  Our case is a 47-year-old male who was found dead at home. A fatal  cutting-edged implement wound on the anterior part of the neck  and accompanying hesitation cuts were observed in our case on  autopsy examination. No toxic substance was determined at chemical analysis of specimens taken from the body. Cause of death was  reported as lacerations to the pharynx, epiglottis, thyroid and deep  muscle groups of the neck organs associated with a sharp force  injuries external bleeding related to major neck muscles and resulting respiratory failure. According to the judicial investigation  file, the subject drank alcohol since his high school years, he had  attempted to commit suicide two years ago by cutting wrists of both  hands and had paranoid thoughts such as being followed by people  after him for the last 2 years, but did not receive any psychiatric  treatment. This case is reported as of interest due to its origin.</p></trans-abstract>
