The authors describe a 37-year-old man suffering electric shock caused by high-voltage current 3 000 Volt. The shock caused a fall with severe craniocerebral injury with fracture of occipital squama and subacute epidural haematoma in the posterior cerebral fossa. The injury was associated with vascular disturbances of the brain and brain stem which caused difficulties in disclosing typical signs of epidural heaematoma. Good therapeutic effects were obtained not only by surgical intervention and also by intensive treatment with antioedematous agents and drugs improving cerebral circulation.
