Abstract

Abhinav Paul Minj, Tarun Gurjar, Amit Kumar and Chandrakant

All kinds of foreign bodies have been described in most part of the body. Head injury after explosion of bomb can result in devastating functional and neurological consequences for patients. There is no consensus in the terms of removing or retaining longstanding foreign bodies such as pellets. We report a case of 55-year old male who suffered from blast injury 35-year ago. Although most of the pellets in the head and neck were still present after secondary blast injury, but there were no symptoms such as lead poisoning, foreign body reaction, recurrent infections to date except feeling of nasal blockade, cold and headache during the winter season.
