ABSTRACT

Background: Blast syndrome is a clinical syndrome caused by exposure of the organism to the effects of a shock wave caused by an explosion. The pyrotechnic games in Mexico directly influence the risk of suffering a traumatic injury, as happens with the use of explosive objects prepared with gunpowder.
Clinical case: We report the case of 14-year-old adolescent who suffered multiple complications because of the explosion of one of these objects called "dove", required abdominal exploratory surgery for presenting acute abdomen data after the explosion.
Conclusion: Blast syndrome is a poorly identified and underdiagnosed condition that causes fatal injuries and multiple consequences, which in most cases is preventable.
