Abstract

The case of a paraplegic patient who sustained a fullthickness thermal injury to his left foot from exposure to sunshine is described. Electromagnetic energy from the sun can cause enough damage to full thickness of the skin when the heat is intense enough or not dissipated sufficiently. The lesson of it is that paralyzed and anesthetic individuals should be cautious about sunbathing.
