Mohamed Yasar M Y .

Abstract


Traumatic abdominal wall hernia is an uncommon injury despite the high prevalence of blunt abdominal trauma. Traumatic abdominal hernia was first described by Selby in 1906. In worldwide literature, less than 50 cases of Traumatic abdominal wall hernia have been reported with only three to five cases from India. We are reporting a case  of TAWH resulting from a blunt injury sustained by a bull  gore injury and discussion on the management of such injuries.
