Abstract

Electric shock injuries are commonly encountered by emergency physicians. Various systemic complications owing to electric shock injury have been described. It is important to maintain raised awareness of these different complications to ensure that they are recognised and treated early. We describe a rare case of transient quadriparesis following electric shock in a 10-year-old boy.
