Abstract:
A case of vertebral fracture following DC shock for ventricular fibrillation is reported. After a short review of the complications of this procedure the case is described and compared with two other cases known in literature. We conclude that, although this complication is uncommon, it must be kept in mind owing to its potential severity.
