A boy crossing a street in Cameroon got a rare and painful
abdominal injury when a motorbike driver lost control and
ran into him, according to a new report.

During the accident, the 275-lb. (125 kilograms) motorbike
fell on the 8-year-old boy, and its handlebars smashed into
his abdomen, giving him an injury that doctors call a
"handlebar hernia," his doctors said.

Hernias develop when an organ pokes through the cavity
that holds it, said Dr. Valirie Ndip Agbor, a physician who
treated the boy at the Ibal sub-Divisional Hospital in Oku, a
rural community in northwestern Cameroon, in central
Africa, and reported his case. Hernias most commonly
occur in the abdomen, for instance when the intestines
break through a weakened area in the abdominal wall.
