ABSTRACT: Primary blast lung injury after explosions has been well described in the literature. A case of injury to the lung, after a shotgun wound to the head, similar to primary blast lung, is presented. Histological appearances of the lung revealed alveolar over distension, rupture and intra-alveolar hemorrhage. Primary blast lung injury is considered the reserve of high-order explosives; however, this case reveals similar injuries from a shotgun (low-order explosive), which has not been reported before to the best of our knowledge. |
