Abstract
Abstract:
Patients with epilepsy have higher incidence and severity of burn injury. Managing epilepsy is challenging in a Low- and Middle-Income setting, exacerbated by a combination of stigma, traditional beliefs, access to health care, and the burdensome costs of long-term treatment. Management of the disease require lifelong medication and regular follow-up care, which makes compliance a major issue. Here we discuss a patient who had suffered deep burn to both legs after a fall into open fire during a seizure attack resulting in amputation of the left leg, however the right leg was salvaged with local, regional and a free flap.
