Abstract

The forests of the Western Ghats are home to the tallest bovine in the world, the Indian Bison. While attacks are few, they may result in life-threatening injury. We report the case of a 57-year-old agriculturist who got gored by an Indian Gaur resulting in penetrating chest and abdominal trauma resulting in injuries to multiple organs. A prompt Emergency department evaluation and surgical repair of his injuries enabled recovery, with some residual disability.
