High voltage electrical burns constitute serious injury. Their depth increases over time. They lead to major tissue damage, sometimes irreversible, with tremendous functional and aesthetic sequelae, especially when extremities are involved.

The Transcranial Stab Wound and the Life-Saving Zygomatic Arch Clinical Report.

A 58-year-old man presented to the neurosurgical emergencies for a transzygomatic transcranial stab wound with a retained broken knife. The patient was neurologically intact. After radiographic evaluation the knife was found to be penetrating the temporal lobe, neighboring the intracavernous portion of the carotid artery.

[Cardiocirculatory arrest caused by electric shock: importance of semi-automatic defibrillator].

Accidental electrical burn injuries are serious because they can cause death by cardiocirculatory arrest. Cardiocirculatory arrest induced by low-voltage current is generally due to ventricular fibrillation, and the prognosis is fairly good if the survival chain is efficient. It is necessary to give priority to early defibrillation using an automated external defibrillator.

[Chemical burns caused by the shrub nerium oleander].

Nerium Oleander is a shrub that grows naturally in the Mediterranean regions. In Morocco it is found in wet places. It is famous for its risk of systemic toxicity in cases of poisoning because of the presence of two alkaloids, especially oleandrine.
