Abstract
|
|
|
|
High voltage electrical injury can cause considerable damage to the nervous system including spinal cord, but, the pathophysiology of myelopathy remains to be studied. A 44-year old man with paraparesis after electrical injury was diagnosed as electrical injury induced- myelopathy by normal spine MRI and somatosensory evoked potential showing central conduction abnormality. It implicates that the presumed mechanism of the myelopathy prefers the electroporation or electroconformational protein denaturation to the joule heating.
