Sonic pressure wave should be taken into consideration in all ballistic injury. We review a young gentleman with ballistic injury of his lateral chest wall. The bullet trajectory passed through the lateral chest wall. Chest radiograph shows a wedge-shaped consolidation adjacent to the wound with blunted right costophrenic angle. Subsequent CT scan confirms the consolidation adjacent to the bullet trajectory. This case report emphasizes on value of CT in ballistic chest trauma and indirect injury caused by the sonic pressure wave of the bullet.
在所有弹道损伤中都应考虑到声压波。我们回顾了一位患有侧胸壁弹道损伤的年轻男性。子弹轨迹穿过侧胸壁。胸部X光片显示伤口附近有楔形实变,右侧肋膈角钝。随后的CT扫描证实了子弹轨迹附近的实变。本病例报告强调了CT在弹道性胸部创伤以及子弹声压波所致间接损伤中的价值。
