摘要

電傷會影響人體的許多系統及組織，包括神經系統、肌肉、骨骼...，而電傷後的脊髓病變在文獻上的記錄，是相當少見的。
我們報告兩例高壓電傷造成的脊髓病變，這兩個例子都是在工作時不慎被高壓電電傷，之後分別於第十六天及第四天產生症狀。而且兩個例子都同樣經歷了一個惡化的過程，之後才又慢慢恢復，但恢復並不完全。在文章中，我們也將討論可能的致病轉機及生理病理變化。

Electrical burns dramatically affect the nervous system, muscles, bones, and other tissues within the human body. Myelopathy after an electrical burn has seldom been mentioned.
This article describes two cases of myelopathy admitted to our burn center after a high-voltage electrical burn incurred in the workplace, with symptoms onset around 16th and 4th day, respectively. The patients both experienced a course of deterioration, followed by a slow and partial recovery. The possible mechanisms and pathophysiology associated with electric burns are discussed.
