This case of successfully managed clinical tetanus following osteomyelitis of a minimally fractured zygoma serves to remind us to consider the possibility of this diagnosis even in an apparently uncomplicated facial wound. The prodromal and clinical signs of tetanus in this case are classical. Early recognition of the disease and appropriate supportive measures lead to an anticipated outcome.
