Abstract

Position of face in head and neck region make it more exposed as comparison to other region to dog bite injuries. Combination of this fact along with short stature of children make them more prone to dog bite. The surgical approach regarding dog bite injury continues to be debatable. Main controversial topic of discussion in animal bite cases is the ideal time for wound debridement along with initial wound suturing as well as the use of prophylactic antibiotics. Early management, most appropriate prophylaxis in addition to precise evaluation are definitely critical for attaining desired results. This case report is to throw a light on epidemiology, presentation, management and recent advances in case of emergency like animal bite.
