Electrical shock can result in neurological complications, involving both peripheral and central nervous systems, which may present immediately or later on. High-voltage electrical injuries are uncommonly reported and may predispose to both immediate and delayed neurologic complications. We report the case of a 68-year-old man who experienced a high-voltage electrocution injury, subsequently developed bulbar dysfunction and spontaneously recovered. We describe the development of bulbar palsy following a significant electrical injury, which showed no evidence of this on magnetic resonance imaging. High-voltage electrocution injuries are a serious problem with potential for both immediate and delayed neurologic sequelae. The existing literature has no reports on bulbar dysfunction following electrocution, apart from motor neuron disease.
电击可导致神经并发症，累及周围神经系统和中枢神经系统，这些并发症可能立即出现或随后出现。高压电损伤的报道较少，可能导致即时和延迟的神经并发症。我们报告一例68岁男性，他遭受了高压电击伤，随后出现延髓功能障碍并自发恢复。我们描述了严重电损伤后延髓麻痹的发生情况，磁共振成像未显示此情况的证据。高压电击伤是一个严重问题，有导致即时和延迟神经后遗症的可能性。除运动神经元病外，现有文献尚无关于电击后延髓功能障碍的报道。
