dc.description.abstractBlank cartridge guns, which are considered harmless, can be easily purchased by adults due to lack of legal regulations. We present this case because injuries caused by gunshot from modify blank cartridges may be fatal and are rarely encountered in emergency departments. A 20-year-old boy was brought to the emergency department since he had a wound on his left thorax by modify gunshot from blank cartridges. He had a moderate general condition, respiratory distress and pale appearance. There was an irregular edged, defective wound at left hemithorax localization with a dimension of 3×4 cm. Computed tomography of the thorax revealed contusion in the basal of the left lung. A mass education on danger and harm of these guns as well as legal regulations for restricted use seem to he necessary. Also, physicians should keep in mind that blank cartridge guns can cause fatal injuries.en_US
