摘要
Electrical burns of the scalp and calvarium are uncommon, but due to various conditions peculiar to India such injuries are seen frequently. The presentation of such patients at hospital is late because of the paucity of specialized care facilities and understanding of the disease process. Such injuries usually cause necrosis of the scalp and underlying calvarium with sequestered bone being retained in situ by the flimsy adhesions of underlying granulation tissue and overhanging edges of the scalp all around caused by secondary wound contraction. This paper gives our experience of 14 such cases, explaining the reasons for the chronic state and their subsequent clinical management.
