abstract="Background: Stingray injuries with potentially lethal outcomes have been described in the medical literature, but a stingray injury to a surfer does not belong to the injuries treated daily in Germany.Patients: We report on a stingray injury to a 31-year-old female with an uncommon course.Results: Diagnostics of and therapy for stingray injuries are described.Conclusion: Stingray stings are painful injuries. In addition to the pain-relieving heat deactivation of the stingray toxin, the wound has to be cleaned to avoid secondary infection. Non-radiopaque foreign bodies should be ruled out by MRI. Stingray bites can cause severe injuries to water sportsmen and women with the need for surgical intervention.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>",
