abstract="Blast lung injury is a well documented barotrauma pulmonary pressure insult, often seen in victims and survivors of high pressure extrinsic explosions, such as those caused by extrinsic explosive devices or gas leaks. In this case we present a case of blast lung injury secondary to internal barotrauma, namely suicide by intra-oral shotgun use, and provide correlative post-mortem CT and autopsy images. •We present a case of pulmonary blast injury secondary to oral shotgun suicide.•We provide correlative post-mortem CT and autopsy images.•This is unique as pulmonary blast injury is more normally associated with extrinisic pressure explosion than internal detonation.•This case is even more unusual in a country with very few firearms associated deaths. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
