Delayed spinal cord injury after high-voltage electrical injury.
Delayed spinal cord injury is a rare complication of high-voltage injury. The diagnosis of this scenario is difficult because radiologic imaging techniques lack sensitivity. Frequent neurologic assessments, although difficult to perform in the early stages of such multisystem traumas, are required for accurate diagnosis.
