Popis: Acute tears or ruptures of the brachialis muscle are rare events, with only 10 cases reported to date and all of which have been in adults. We report a case of an acute, complete tear of brachialis in an 8-year-old female that occurred while the patient was practicing a gymnastic move. Although rare, this case underscores the need to include brachialis tears in the differential diagnosis for musculoskeletal injuries at the elbow in all age groups.
