Dog bite-related injuries and fatalities are major public health problem worldwide. The authors present a case of a Japanese Tosa-dog bite-related fatality in an old woman who died from a vertebral arterial laceration with the C5 vertebral fracture. This was an uncommon type of injury that dog bites injured the vertebral artery only without damage to carotid artery. The identity of the Tosa-dog as an offending dog in this case was unsuccessful by a DNA analysis. Then the detection of the offending dog was made by comparisons of the dental casts of the dog with the victim's wounds. This case report describes making dental cast of the dog, and statistical data on dog-bite incidents in Japan.
犬咬伤相关的伤害和死亡是全球主要的公共卫生问题。作者报告了一例日本土佐犬咬伤导致一名老年女性死亡的病例，该女性死于椎动脉撕裂并伴有C5椎体骨折。这是一种罕见的犬咬伤类型，仅损伤椎动脉而未损伤颈动脉。通过DNA分析未能确定本案中伤人的土佐犬的身份。随后，通过将犬的牙模与受害者伤口进行比对，找到了伤人犬。本病例报告描述了制作犬牙模的过程以及日本犬咬伤事件的统计数据。
