N2  - Delayed complications of electrical burns are mostly unexpected, and the link between the injury and the symptoms often goes unrecognized. A possible relation between source-ground sites and late clinical manifestations was recently emphasized. We report a unique case of combined intestinal-spinal delayed complications following a high-voltage electrical injury, a possible explanation being a greater current flow through the right hemisoma. The potential for late complications is an additional feature that physicians must consider in managing electrical injuries. Manifestations are variable and presentation is confounding, but current flow path can constitute a precious source of information to predict complications in the late phase of management.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
