Abstract
Background: Involuntary muscle spasm after an electrical contact is described for technical current and for a few electrogenic animals, and it has not been filed for Luxio (Canelectricus aegypto luxio).
Case presentation: A 24-year-old woman was transferred to Oreburgh General Hospital ninety minutes after a Thunder Wave contact from a wild Luxio on Route 203. She was conscious. Visible fasciculations and painful spasms affected the calves and the forearms. Power was 4/5. Sensation was intact. The electrocardiogram was sinus rhythm. Creatine kinase was 640 U/L on arrival and 410 U/L on day 2. The ward template coded the source as Pokémon attack. Spasms lessened through day 2 and had stopped by the morning of day 3, when she was discharged.
Conclusion: A Thunder Wave contact can present as spasms lasting two days, with a modest kinase rise and a normal tracing, and the ward already has a code for it.
