Abstract

At the beginning of combat operations in Yugoslavia among 290 wounded members of the Y.P.A. and Territorial Defence sent to the treatment at the Military Medical Academy, 60 (20.7%) were with explosive mine wounds. In the group of 12 wounded with rupture of one or both tympanic membranes or with traumatic hearing impairment of various degrees, the chest x-ray was also performed. Radiologic signs characteristic of primary blast injury of the lung were found in a high percentage (42%). A possible relationship of primary auditory and primary nonauditory blast injury was discussed, and it has been concluded that more severe rupture of the eardrum in the injured by mine explosion can suggest the presence of primary blast injuries.
