Serpieri and Baliva, who relate the case.
Thirteen hours had elapsed from the infliction of the wound, through which the bulk of the intestines had been protruding for the past six hours.
The abdomen was irrigated, the toilet made, and after the eighteenth day the process of healing was well progressed, and the woman made a recovery after her plucky efforts to hide her shame. Cases like the foregoing excite no more interest than those on record in which an abdominal section has been accidental, as, for instance, by cattle-horns, and the fetus born through the wound.
Zuboldie speaks of a case in which a fetus was born from the wound made by a bull's horn in the mother's abdomen.
Deneux describes a case in which the wound made by the horn was not sufficiently large to permit the child's escape, but it was subsequently brought through the opening.
