Abstract:
:We report a case of extensive osteomyelitis of the skull vault from a human bite. The presentation and surgical management of this unusual condition is described. The microbiological findings are comparable to known patterns of infection after human bites. Surgical management and prophylaxis after this injury are discussed.
