Abstract

Human bites to the face are very rare and only one case of human bite to the eyebrow has so far been reported1-4. The final functional and cosmetic result of reconstruction mainly depends on the size of the injury, the viability of the tissue and the promptness of surgical intervention. We here present one case of human bite to the eyebrow that resulted in complete avulsion and loss of tissue due to delayed presentation to the hospital. The lesion was reconstructed in two stages with good functional and decent cosmetic outcome. Unfortunately long term follow up was not possible for this patient.
