Abstract Spinal cord injury has been described in only 2% to 5% of electrical injuries. When its presentation is delayed for several days to weeks after the initial injury, recovery is not the rule. Herein, we describe two patients who developed spinal cord injury from electrical burns. Case 1: A 60-year-old male presented with a 40% TBSA after contacting a power line. On hospital day 6, he developed lower extremity weakness that progressed to flaccid paralysis. Case 2: A 58-year-old male sustained a 9% TBSA high-voltage injury. On hospital day 2, he started to have progressive weakness of his lower extremities that progressed to flaccid paralysis. Neither case was judged to have experienced additional significant trauma. Neurological complications after electrical injuries are protean. Delayed spinal cord injury is rare and associated with variable degrees of recovery. Neurological follow-up with rehabilitation is essential for a successful recovery.
