Abstract

Three cases of animal bites causing central nervous system injury in children are reported. Two infants suffered compound depressed skull fractures as a result of dog bites to the head. An older child suffered direct injury to the spinal cord from a tiger bite. In 2 cases, Pasteurella meningitis occurred. Pitfalls in the management of this type of problem are discussed.
