An isolated femoral vein injury caused by bull horn

Özet

Animal related injuries are frequently reported in countries where the bulls are used for traditional show events like bullfighting and bull-running as well as in countries where the farming and livestock rearing is predominantly practiced. Although they are rare among other penetrating traumas, they often tend to be mortal. They have a unique pattern of injury mechanism. Bull gore injuries frequently target the perineal, abdominal and inguinal regions. An isolated femoral vein injury which is caused by an inguinal bull gore with a massive hemorrhage is unusual and it has not been reported in the available literature. In this paper, successfully treated a male patient from the villages of Kars district, who presented with an isolated femoral vein injury after bull gore was presented.
