Animal bites and stings may not figure highly in the differential diagnosis of facial swelling in the United Kingdom but should be considered in those who have been in a tropical area. This case report documents details of the presentation and investigation of a case of jellyfish sting that appeared as a facial swelling in a 4-year-old girl who had recently been on holiday in Greece. The report emphasizes the requirement to consider unusual aetiological factors in cases of facial swelling.
在英国,动物咬伤和蜇伤在面部肿胀的鉴别诊断中可能不太受重视,但对于去过热带地区的人应予以考虑。本病例报告记录了一名4岁女童的临床表现及检查细节,该女童最近在希腊度假时被水母蜇伤后出现面部肿胀。该报告强调在面部肿胀病例中需要考虑不寻常的病因。
