Zusammenfassung: | Objective
To study the symptomatology, clinical findings and the effects of blast injury on middle and inner ear in survivors of bomb blast.
Settings City of Mumbai, India.
Methods
The study group consisted of 52 patients exposed to the bomb blast that occurred on 25th August 2003.
Result and Analysis
The distance of the victim from the blast site has no major infiuence in producing effects on middle and inner ear in our study of the surviving individuals. Rupture of the tympanic membrane occurs due to the positive wave but both everted and inverted edges can be found in multiple perforations of the tympanic membrane. |
