Pediatric head injuries are a commonly seen emergency in trauma centers worldwide. There are various modes of injury such as fall from height, road traffic accidents, objects hitting the head, assault, and battered baby. We report here a child who presented to us with a history of sustaining head injury by a stray bull on the road and a retained broken bull horn inside the brain and its subsequent management.
