The long term effects of fi rearm injuries on special senses

Abstract

In this era of peace and stringent fi rearm regulatory norms, the civilian fi rearm injuries are rarely encountered in the day to day life. These injuries might be resulting from assault, accidental or suicidal attempts. Though these injuries are encountered on low frequency in day to day life. Being one of the vulnerable targets of terrorist attacks, we encounter these injuries in bits and pieces in mass causality involved in these attacks. This study aims to evaluate the long term effects of such fi rearm injuries on special senses and facial visage.
