Abstract
As a delayed neurologic complication following a high-voltage electrical injury, motor neuron disease-like spinal cord injury has often been reported. However, epileptic seizure as a delayed complication of electrical brain injury has not been reported. We report a 32-year-old man, who developed epilepsy 8 years after electrical brain injury. His electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings showed focus on the right side, in which the electrical current passed during the accident eight years earlier. He experienced cataract during these 8 years. On examination, the right side of his tongue was found to be atrophic, and he was unaware when it had started. Systemic EMG examination revealed neuropathic changes in both (interossei dorsalis) IODs, the right biceps, right tongue, and right masseter muscles.
