Abstract

High-energy electrical injury, whether from lightning strike or electrical shock, occurs primarily in the workplace. Neurological dysfunction can be a devastating complication of electrical injury. A review of the literature was undertaken to develop a better understanding of the epidemiology, mechanisms of injury and neuropathology associated with this type of injury. The numerous challenges inherent in the management of these complex cases were illustrated by three case studies.
