    PURPOSE: Bear-inflicted injuries are often associated with severe maxillofacial injury. This study aimed to evaluate CT findings of bear-inflicted injuries using the Facial Injury Severity Scale (FISS) and other trauma grading systems, with a particular focus on the relationship between FISS scores and hospitalization duration as well as the characteristics of maxillofacial injuries. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study included 31 patients with bear-inflicted injuries who underwent whole-body CT. Maxillofacial injury severity was assessed using FISS, while head and thoracic injuries were evaluated using the Marshall Head-CT Classification and the AAST Chest Wall Injury Scale, respectively. Patients were categorized into short (≤ 18 days) and long (> 18 days) hospitalization groups based on the median hospitalization duration. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors associated with hospitalization duration. RESULTS: Patients in the long hospitalization group had higher FISS scores (p = 0.01) and AAST chest wall injury grades (p = 0.03), with no significant differences in Marshall Head-CT Classification. Multivariate analysis confirmed that both FISS scores and AAST chest wall injury grade were independently associated with hospitalization duration. A detailed analysis of FISS scores revealed significant bilateral correlations between right and left midface scores (p < 0.01) and right and left upper face scores (p < 0.01). Additionally, significant correlations were observed between midface and upper face scores. CONCLUSION: FISS scores and AAST chest wall injury grades were significantly associated with hospitalization duration in bear-inflicted injuries. The midface and upper face injuries often occur simultaneously and bilaterally, possibly due to bears targeting the upper face to weaken their opponent.

    <p>A man in his 20s was diagnosed with pyoderma gangrenosum and underwent emergency debridement. He had no history of a hematological disease, transfusion, or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. ABO blood group typing results showed mixed field agglutination with both A and B blood antigens. Due to the possible association between hematological disease and pyoderma gangrenosum, bone marrow aspiration was performed and he was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome with multilineage dysplasia (MDS-MLD) with chromosome 8 trisomy.</p><p>Serological tests, flow cytometric analysis, and genetic test precluded the possibility of hereditary ABO subgroup and blood chimerism, suggesting that his blood antigen expression was decreased due to MDS-MLD.</p><p>In turn, decreased A and B antigen expression and diagnosis of pyoderma gangrenosum allowed the diagnosis of MDS-MLD before he had overt abnormal hematological values.</p><p>For patients with decreased expression of both A and B blood antigens, the possibility of hematological disease should be kept in mind.</p>
