Neurological involvement is not uncommon in patients who sustain electrical injury. The exact mechanism of nervous system damage following electrical trauma is not fully understood. The gamut of possible neurologic manifestations following electrical injury is diverse. This case report describes a young man with a unique pattern of neurological injury following an electrical burn. The combination of brachial plexopathy, partial Horner's syndrome, and phrenic nerve palsy secondary to electrical injury has not been previously described in the literature.
在遭受电击伤的患者中,神经系统受累并不罕见。电击伤后神经系统损伤的确切机制尚未完全明确。电击伤后可能出现的一系列神经学表现多种多样。本病例报告描述了一名年轻男性在电烧伤后出现的独特神经损伤模式。文献中此前尚未描述过电损伤继发臂丛神经病变、部分霍纳综合征和膈神经麻痹的组合情况。
