N2  - PURPOSE: Electrical injury to the central nervous system may lead to neurologic compromise via pleiotropic mechanisms. It may cause current-related, thermal or nonthermal damage followed by secondary mechanisms. <br><br>METHODS: We herein report a case of a 20-year old man, who experienced a low-voltage electric injury due to an occupational accident. <br><br>RESULTS: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) one week after the insult allowed differentiation of pathophysiologic features including thermal, nonthermal and hypoxic cerebral lesions. <br><br>CONCLUSION: The capability of MRI assessing a variety of lesions for diagnostic and potentially prognostic reasons is presented.<br><br>Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Ltd and ISBI.
