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