Incidence of abdominal trauma is on an increasing trend but abdominal content herniation due to blunt trauma is rare. Traumatic disruption of the abdominal wall has only about 50 reports worldwide, and only one from India. We report here a case of 65 year old male who underwent blunt trauma due to bull horn injury and presented with a swelling in the left lumbar quadrant of anterior abdominal wall, without as much as an abrasion on the overlying skin. We conclude that a low impact, prolonged presentation, case of traumatic abdominal wall hernia can be managed electively by open anatomical repair.
