Abstract

Explosions caused by industrial accidents and terrorist devices are infrequent, but unpredictable events in developed countries. Therefore, civilian doctors may be required to deal with large numbers of blast injured subjects with little warning in chaotic and difficult circumstances.[1] Explosions and the injuries caused by them are the subjects of this paper.

This case is presented here because the real incidence of injuries caused by blast of O2 cylinder in a chemical manufacturer company was concealed in the inquest with history of found injured in that company and the fact was revealed during autopsy.
