Cerebral corticospinal tract injury resulting from high-voltage electrical shock.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electrical injuries are becoming more common and are increasingly imaged with advanced technologies, such as MR imaging. However, the MR imaging findings of such injuries remain largely unstudied. We report a high-voltage electrical injury to the cerebral corticospinal tracts and document evolution on serial MR images.

Taylor, J. L., and S. C. Gandevia. Noninvasive stimulation of the human corticospinal tract. J Appl Physiol 96: 1496–1503, 2004; 10.1152/japplphysiol. 01116.2003.—Spinal tracts can be stimulated noninvasively in human subjects by passing a high-voltage stimulus between the mastoids or by magnetic stimulation over the back of the head. The stimulus probably activates the corticospinal tract at t...
متن کاملMotor cortex electrical stimulation augments sprouting of the corticospinal tract and promotes recovery of motor function
The corticospinal system-with its direct spinal pathway, the corticospinal tract (CST) - is the primary system for controlling voluntary movement. Our approach to CST repair after injury in mature animals was informed by our finding that activity drives establishment of connections with spinal cord circuits during postnatal development. After incomplete injury in maturity, spared CST circuits s...
متن کاملThe corticospinal tract from the viewpoint of brain rehabilitation.
The corticospinal tract, a major neural tract in the human brain for motor function, is concerned mainly with movement of the distal extremities. Preservation or recovery of the corticospinal tract is essential for good recovery of impaired motor function in patients with brain injury. Therefore, thorough and precise knowledge of the corticospinal tract is necessary for successful brain rehabil...
متن کاملNeurological Complication After Low-Voltage Electric Injury: A Case Report
Electrical shock can result in neurological complications, involving both peripheral and central nervous systems, which may present immediately or later on. However, delayed neurological complications caused by low-voltage electric shock are rarely reported. Here, a case of a man suffering from weakness and aphasia due to the delayed-onset of the peripheral nerve injury and ischemic stroke foll...
متن کاملTitle: Deterioration of Pre-existing Hemiparesis Due to Injury of the Ipsilateral Anterior Corticospinal Tract Running Title: Injury of Anterior Corticospinal Tract
The anterior corticospinal tract (CST) has been suggested as one of the ipsilateral motor pathways, which contribute to motor recovery following stroke. In this study, we report on a patient who showed deterioration of pre-existing hemiparesis due to an injury of the ipsilateral anterior CST following a pontine infarct, as evaluated by diffusion tensor tractography (DTT). A 55-year-old male pat...
