Abstract

Traumatic herniae in childhood are discussed on the basis of four cases, one of diaphragmatic rupture, two of abdominal wall herniae and one of intercostal hernia. The increase in such injuries is attributed to the rise in road accidents, especially involving bicycles. The typical mode of injury in the cases of abdominal and thoracic wall herniae was by falling onto the handle bars.
