Jayanta Kumar Goswami et al. J Indian Assoc Pediatr Surg. 2017 Jan-Mar.

Abstract

Injury of a pregnant lady risks both mother and fetus. Various modes of injuries are possible. But arrow injury is not usually heard of in today's world. We have reported a male child delivered with a cut injury on the face. It was caused by a penetrating arrow hitting his mother in her lower abdomen at term. The injury of the baby was repaired successfully.

Keywords: Fetal trauma; intrauterine injury; maternal-fetal injury.
