Blast lesions are considered complex and dangerous in the face of life-threatening and functional consequences. The difficulty of taking care of these patients calls for an exhaustive diagnostic procedure and imposing urgent medico-surgical decisions. We report a case of abdominal blast following a gas cylinder explosion where the mechanism and seat of the lesion remain exceptional.
