No investigations have been found in the literature which document how many individuals develop neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric dysfunctions following electric shock. Three cases are reviewed in this article where patients developed neuropsychological dysfunction after electric accidents. The first case report describes a man who developed an amnestic syndrome followed by personality changes and diffuse anxiety after an electric accident. The two other case reports are comparable to the post-concussional syndrome. The patients had difficulty in concentration, psychosomatic symptoms and anxiety reactions. On the basis of the case reports described here, it is important to emphasize that manifest or discrete neurological, neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric dysfunctions may occur as sequelae of electric shock. It is therefore of significance to submit patients of this type to neurological examination and neuropsychological and personality psychological investigations in order to reveal possible neurological and psychological disturbances.
文献中尚未发现有研究记录电击后有多少人会出现神经心理学和神经精神功能障碍。本文回顾了3例患者在电击事故后出现神经心理学功能障碍的病例。首例病例报告描述了一名男子在电击事故后出现遗忘综合征，随后出现人格改变和广泛性焦虑。另外两例病例报告与脑震荡后综合征相似。患者存在注意力不集中、心身症状和焦虑反应。基于此处描述的病例报告，必须强调的是，明显的或离散的神经、神经心理学和神经精神功能障碍可能作为电击的后遗症出现。因此，对这类患者进行神经学检查、神经心理学和人格心理学调查，以发现可能的神经和心理障碍具有重要意义。
