Abstract EN
Attacks by elephants, the largest of the “large animals,” produce many fatalities a year.
Most attacks are provoked, although rogue elephants are occasionally responsible.
Trampling, goring, tossing the individual with the trunk, or crushing with the knees produces the injuries.
Injuries from encounters with large animals represent a significant health risk for rural communities.
Wild-animal-inflicted maxillofacial injuries are rare, and limited literature is available describing their management.
We present a case of severe maxillofacial injuries caused by the attack of a rogue elephant.
