Abstract
This case reprot describes an electrical injury to a 43-year-old man in whom a high voltage alternating current had passed from one hand to the other. Since the extent of damage under the intact skin surface is always difficult to asses, the authors have studied the main arteries with repeated arteriograms, and the morphological changes of muscles and vessels in the immediate vicinity of the contact burns as well as those proximal to these points and under intact skin.Keywords
