Abstract

Aged Animals Bites and Stings - complications Camelus Humans Male Middle Aged Osteolysis - diagnostic imaging Osteolysis - epidemiology Osteolysis - etiology Radiography Saudi Arabia - epidemiology
Four cases of severe osteolysis of bones subsequent to camel bite are described. The first had osteolysis of the ribs with traumatic diaphragmatic hernia. Two cases had similar appearances of gross osteolysis of the shafts of the radius and ulna, whilst one had osteolysis of the humeral shaft. The similarities in the radiological appearances especially of the gross osteolysis at the site of trauma are noted. The complications following mammal bites are discussed.
