Abstract
A Pneumothorax (PNX) is the accumulation of air in the pleural space. PNX, which occurs due to the blast effect of an intense explosion, is a rare and important cause in etiology, as it is generally seen as spontaneous PNX. Blast injuries have become more common in the last century causing by terrorist attack events like bomb explosions and home-related or industrial accidents. While repairing or servicing a large tire, the explosion of the tire may result in high mortality and morbidity. In this case report, we present a 37-year-old male truck driver with barotraumatic PNX and rib fractures that developed due to a truck tire explosion.
