Leopard attacks on humans are reported most often from the Indian subcontinent.The bite wounds are complex injuries infected with polymicrobial inoculum and may present as punctures,abrasions,lacerations or avulsions.The presentation and acceptable treatment of these injuries vary according to the wound.We hereby describe the clinical presentation and treatment of a male victim with leopard bite injuries on the head and neck region.As bite injuries are commonly found on and around the face,maxillofacial surgeons should be familiar with the therapy.Through thorough clinical and radiological examination,it is essential to prevent missing any hidden injuries,which can easily turn lethal.To benefit the rural population,more health facilities need to be established in remote areas.
