Abstract
Bull horn injuries are among the commonest accidents in rural India, where people make their living rearing the livestock. The injuries thus sustained include the direct penetrating injuries caused by horns of the animal and blunt injuries sustained like chest & spine injuries, long bone fractures. A thorough head to toe examination is therefore essential in evaluating such patients. Bullhorn injury on the chest wall comprises a wide spectrum covering minor abrasions to fatal lung injuries. We report a case of 7 year old boy who had a bullhorn injury on left chest wall with flail segment but interestingly there was no rib fracture. Child was treated by immediate tube thoracostomy and strapping of flail segment.
