Celebratory use of fireworks has been an integral part of human civilization for over millennia. While the majority of firework use is festive, their explosive nature can result in traumatic injuries and death. The authors present the death of a 21-year-old man found unresponsive on the floor of his parent's garage with extensive damage to his head after an explosion was heard. Firearms could not be found, but there were unexploded homemade and commercially produced firecrackers and components for the manufacture of additional firecrackers. The radial expansion of the blast wave formed by the intraoral explosion of a firecracker created injuries matching those of an intraoral shotgun wound.
数千年来，庆祝活动中使用烟花一直是人类文明不可或缺的一部分。虽然烟花的使用大多是用于庆祝，但因其具有爆炸性质，可能导致创伤性伤害甚至死亡。作者报告了一名21岁男子的死亡案例，在听到爆炸声后，他被发现昏迷在其父母车库的地板上，头部受到严重损伤。现场未找到枪支，但发现了未爆炸的自制和商业生产的鞭炮以及用于制造更多鞭炮的部件。鞭炮在口腔内爆炸形成的冲击波径向扩展造成的损伤与口腔内猎枪伤相符。
