Abstract
Pathological modifications on the left humerus of a female cave bear from the Last Glacial deposits of the Cave of Izabela Textorisova (the Velka Fatra Mts., northern Slovakia) are described. They point to chronic inflammatory processes, probably caused by a chronic osteomyelitis. Impact of the injury on the life of the animal is discussed.
