Extra dural hematoma following a high voltage electrocution accident: A case report

Electrification accidents is a serious pathology due to the passage of an electric current through the body. The clinical manifestation is mainly represented by skin lesions with burners of different degrees however all the tissues of the body can be affected. The cerebral manifestation is a rare en...

description Electrification accidents is a serious pathology due to the passage of an electric current through the body. The clinical manifestation is mainly represented by skin lesions with burners of different degrees however all the tissues of the body can be affected. The cerebral manifestation is a rare entity described in the literature. In this paper, we report the case of a patient with an electrocution accident manifested by an extradural hematoma who has not encountered a similar case described in the literature. We therefore present this case which poses a poorly understood pathophysiological problem.
