PurposeElectrical 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.MethodsWe herein report a case of a 20-year old man, who experienced a low-voltage electric injury due to an occupational accident.ResultsMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) one week after the insult allowed differentiation of pathophysiologic features including thermal, nonthermal and hypoxic cerebral lesions.ConclusionThe capability of MRI assessing a variety of lesions for diagnostic and potentially prognostic reasons is presented.Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Ltd and ISBI.
