High voltage electrical injuries usually cause devastating consequences for @entity1 , most of which result in @entity2319 . @entity1566 ( @entity1566 ) caused by high voltage electrical injury is uncommon in the literature. We present a 29-year-old male @entity1 who was diagnosed as having delayed @entity1566 after high voltage electrical injury. The @entity1 developed @entity425 in the lower extremities with the @entity3325 sensation below the fifth cervical spinal segment, 2 days after the high voltage electrical injury. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, cervical and thoracic spine was normal. Nerve conduction and needle electromyography studies were normal, except for bilateral tibial and left median somatosensory-evoked potentials. The findings on initial examination and neurophysical investigation showed incomplete cervical @entity1566 at the C5 level. He was able to walk with a pair of canes and bilateral ankle-foot orthosis at the end of the 2-month rehabilitation. Follow-up physical and electrophysiological examination of the @entity1 15 months after injury showed further improvement. The @entity1 was able to walk with a pair of canes without orthoses. Electrophysiological studies are useful instruments in the diagnosis and follow-up of these @entity1 . Early rehabilitation is essential to obtain a favorable outcome in @entity1 with @entity1566 caused by high voltage electrical injury.
