A rare case of lethal outcome due to exstensive facial trauma coused by dogbite

Statistically 10% of head and neek trauma is caused by animal bite, more often inflicted by dogs. More than 50% of victims are infants and small children. Generally, the result of dogbite is superficial trauma but there are cases of deep soft tissue defects with amputation and multiple bone fractures.

In case described in this article, an elderly women suffered a dog attack, wich resulted in extensive face and head injuries. In spite of receiving proper treatment, patient passed away. It is highly probable that underlying Syncumar therapy caused complications which contributed to lethal outcome. Because of it’s unusual nature we found this case to be of interest for publication.

Key words: facial trauma, dogbite, torn wound treatment, lethal outcome
