title: Severe haematoma of the vulva and defloration caused by goring.
abstract: Haematoma of the vulva may occur following a trauma due to its highly vascular structure. We present a case of haematoma of the vulva caused by goring by a cow. The hymen and vaginal wall were also lacerated. Evacuation of the haematoma and repair of lacerated tissues were successfully performed.
