摘要

電傷害能影響全身各器官和系統的功能，亦能引起各種不同的症狀，而神經系統方面的併發症，由於出現較晚，往往易為人所疏忽。本文報告一位32歲男性，於高壓電觸電受傷後兩個月才開始出現神經根病變的症狀，旨在提醒吾人，對電傷害病人之神經系統方面的損傷，需及早警覺和發現，以便能儘早接受適當的復健治療，進而求其神經功能的缺損達到最少。

Electrical injuries may disturb functions of almost every organs and systems and also may cause variable related manifestations. The neurologic complications were initially overlooked because of delayed appearance. The proposed patient was a 32 years old male, who sustained high-tension electrical injury. The symptoms of radiculopathy occurred until two months later. Awareness and early recognition of neurologic deficits were most important in individuals undergoing electrical injury. An intense rehabilitative effort and vigorous physical therapy would minimize functional loss and help such patients attempt to lead an independent existence.
