Abstract

A 34-year-old worker suffered electrical burns on his head and right hand caused by the contact with a 380 V power source. He was unconscious, intubated, hospitalised at the ICU, and later he woke up. The entry wound was on the right hand and the exit wound on the head. These factors resulted in an extensive deep mutilating defect of the right fronto-orbital region. This article describes the management and surgical treatment of this interesting case of burn injury. Key words:electrical injury, surgical treatment.
