Abstract

BACKGROUND: Head and neck injuries of children are mostly due to dog bite. PATIENTS AND METHODS: During the 10-year interval from 1990 to 2000 sixteen patients suffering from dog bite injuries were seen in our department. Age, gender, pattern of ocular and periocular wounds, surgical management and long-term damage were analyzed. RESULTS: Medial lower eyelid injuries with lacrimal duct involvement were most common. Ten victims were younger than four years. 87% of the dogs belonged to the family and friends of the patients. Two localized infections and no systemic infection were seen.
