Persistent peripheral nerve pathologies in patients with electric burns

Clinical and electrodiagnostic evaluations were performed in 25 patients with electric burns who were injured 2 to 13 years before the study. Abnormal motor nerve conduct findings were detected in 12 of the patients. In nine patients, abnormalities were observed in more than one nerve. There was a p...

Zusammenfassung:	Clinical and electrodiagnostic evaluations were performed in 25 patients with electric burns who were injured 2 to 13 years before the study. Abnormal motor nerve conduct findings were detected in 12 of the patients. In nine patients, abnormalities were observed in more than one nerve. There was a positive relation noted between age and nerve lesions. Weakness was the most prominent clinical finding.
