Electrocution Causing Descending Colon Perforation – A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 11
Abstract
Electrocution injuries have been classified into low tension (<1 kilo Volt) and high tension injuries (>1 kilo Volt). Usually electrocution injuries will have an entry wound at the site of contact and an exit wound where the current passed out. Bowel perforation due to an electrocution is a rare and serious injury. We report a case of high tension electric current burn on both hands(entry wound), and exit wound in right foot with perforation in the descending colon presented late with peritonitis and successfully managed by diversion colostomy and take down.
