Abstract

In this context, we present a rare case of a pediatric patient who was bitten by a horse. The child had a subtotal nasal amputation. In the literature, there are examples about injuries of different animals. But to the best of our knowledge, there is no data about a nasal horse- bite and its reconstruction in the literature. Bites almost always cause defective crush injuries. We reconstructed the defect by applying a tissue expander to a paramedian forehead flap. This flap provided a well-vascularized, color-matched skin with appropriate thickness and covered the tip, columella and one-third of the alae.

Özet

Bu olgu sunumunda bir çocuk hastanın at ısırığı ile oluşan nazal defektinin değerlendirilmesi ortaya konmuştur. Hastada subtotal nazal amputasyon oluşmuştur. Literatürde farklı hayvan yaralanmaları ortaya konmuş fakat burunda at ısırığı ile ilgili herhangi bir bilgiye rastlanmamıştır. Defektin yanı sıra ezilmeye de sebep olan ısırmaya bağlı yaralanmalar burunda meydana geldiğinde rekonstrüksiyonu zor hale sokmaktadır. Bu olgu sunumunda burunda nadir görülen at ısırığı yaralanmasının doku genişletici ile alın flebi yapılarak rekonstrüksiyonunu ortaya koyduk. Kanlanması ve doku uyumu iyi olan bu fleple tip, kolumella ve burun kanadının üçte biri kapatıldı.
