Different sequelae of electrical brain injury - MRI patterns.

Burns 2017 June
PURPOSE: Electrical injury to the central nervous system may lead to neurologic compromise via pleiotropic mechanisms. It may cause current-related, thermal or nonthermal damage followed by secondary mechanisms.

METHODS: We herein report a case of a 20-year old man, who experienced a low-voltage electric injury due to an occupational accident.

RESULTS: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) one week after the insult allowed differentiation of pathophysiologic features including thermal, nonthermal and hypoxic cerebral lesions.

CONCLUSION: The capability of MRI assessing a variety of lesions for diagnostic and potentially prognostic reasons is presented.
