Abstract

The most common cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide in the age group of 10–49 years is road traffic accidents. Other than road traffic accidents multiple other factors add to the burden of injuries which include self-harm, occupational hazards, animal attack injuries and industrial accidents. Animal attack injuries are seen all over the world. Other than a few case reports and case series, this mode of injury is highly under-reported. Hence, the global burden of this disease is unknown. Due to the rapid deforestation, the number of animal attack injuries is increasing. These injuries can be caused by wild as well as domesticated animals. The attack can be due to a direct encounter with an animal or due to road traffic accident. Bulls are ferocious animals that are used for sporting events. They are also used for farming and livestock rearing. Injuries caused by bulls can be due to direct attacks by an unprovoked animal, road traffic accidents, or sporting events. The penetrating injury caused by the bull horn has its characteristic pattern. Treatment of bull horn injuries requires a multidisciplinary team. Creating awareness and enforcing laws can help in preventing such injuries.
