Human injury due to porcupine quill attack is quite unusual, as their interaction is very rare owing to their habitat. However encroachment into their wildlife can cause grave injuries due to their quills, which are modified keratin having backward facing sharp barbs. The injuries resulting from porcupine quill may cause pain, infection, foreign body reactions, vascular trauma, gastric perforations and are difficult to retrieve because of their structure. Limited literature report exists of porcupine quill injuries in humans, but the maxillofacial injuries secondary to quill attack is an absolute rarity. In this case report, we describe the mechanism of injury, management, complications along with review of literature which makes it an interesting read.
