Seastrokes: a new threat for north Carolina swimmers? A case report.

Francisco Chiang1, Mauricio Castillo2.   

Abstract

Spinal cord infarcts have been reported in young healthy patients following contact with the water on the beaches of North Carolina. Although their exact cause is not known, contact with a toxic marine animal has been proposed. We describe a patient who suffered a "seastroke" and review the pertinent literature.
