N2  - The authors describe a case of accidental electrocution from a high voltage current in a young worker, who was struck by the electric shock in the mid-occipital region. The case is especially interesting due to the improbability of anyone surviving after receiving a shock of more than 1000 V., and to the development of bilateral parieto-occipital haemorrhagic infarction with spastic paraparesis, directly caused by the high voltage current and not indirectly by heat generation or secondary head trauma.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
