Electrical injuries though infrequent, are potentially devastating form of injuries which are associated with high morbidity and mortality. The severity of the injury depends upon intensity of the electrical current which is determined by the voltage and the resistance offered by the victim. These injuries vary from trivial burns to death. There have been few reports about pulmonary injuries due to electrical current but none mentioning neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE). Here we report a young boy who when exposed to high voltage current developed neurogenic pulmonary edema and was successfully managed. Though there is no specific protocol for electrical injury but identifying the organs involved along with type of disease facilitates the management.

电击伤虽不常见，但却是一种潜在的毁灭性损伤，与高发病率和死亡率相关。损伤的严重程度取决于电流强度，而电流强度由电压和受害者的电阻决定。这些损伤从轻微烧伤到死亡不等。关于电流导致肺部损伤的报道很少，但没有提及神经源性肺水肿（NPE）的。在此，我们报告一名年轻男孩，他在接触高压电流后发生神经源性肺水肿并得到成功救治。虽然对于电击伤没有特定的治疗方案，但确定受累器官及疾病类型有助于治疗。
