The striped hyena (Hyaena hyaena) is a rarely spotted carnivore in India listed as Near Threatened (red list) by International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2014. Hyena is considered as scavenger but also executes rare opportunistic attacks on humans. In India, reported cases of hyena attack on humans are very rare, because of remote locations of these attacks majority of which go unreported to higher medical centres. This article describes about the circumstances and management of Hyena inflicted maxillofacial injury in North India, which is as per our knowledge first scientifically documented maxillofacial injury caused by Hyena in Indian subcontinent.
条纹鬣狗(Hyaena hyaena)是印度一种罕见的食肉动物,2014年被国际自然保护联盟(IUCN)列为近危物种(红色名录)。鬣狗通常被视为食腐动物,但也会对人类发动罕见的机会主义攻击。在印度,鬣狗袭击人类的报告案例非常罕见,由于这些袭击发生在偏远地区,大多数情况都没有上报给上级医疗中心。本文描述了印度北部鬣狗造成的颌面损伤的情况及处理,据我们所知,这是印度次大陆首次有科学记录的由鬣狗造成的颌面损伤。
