Abstract:
Clinical case-reports of 200 patients with blast-induced lesions are used as a basis for a review of physical and physiopathologic factors. Otologic aspects of injuries due to high-intensity shock waves are discussed and clinical and histopathologic features described. The place of post-traumatic pressure induced injuries to ear in catastrophy medicine is emphasized.
