Abstract

The farms can be a dangerous working place especially for children. Children spend most of their time there with their parents in the fields and it is where accidents happen. Approximately 200,000 children in India suffer from head injury every year and majority can be prevented. Head injury from the winnowing fan blades is rare among children and limited data is available in the literature. We present the, mechanism of injury, clinico-radiological findings, the management and preventive measures that can be taken for head injuries that occur due to the winnowing fan. Keywords: children, winnowing fan blade, head injury prevention.
