We report a case where a high velocity impact due to roadside accident caused a traumatic abdominal wall hernia in a 48-year-old male patient. The physical examination ndings revealed the presence of traumatic abdominal wall with gut lying just below the fat of anterior abdominal wall which was which was conrmed on USG. Patient was managed by exploratory laparotomy with resection and ileo-ileal anastomosis. The post operative period was uneventful. It is important to emphasize the importance of the physical examination in such cases to make early diagnosis. Urgent surgical intervention is recommended to avoid wound and bowel related complications.
