Electrical injury-associated axonal neuropathy on NCS supports targeted follow-up with contralateral comparison; leaves open whether routine screening improves outcomes.
Does high-voltage electrical injury cause peripheral nerve damage detectable by nerve conduction studies?
High-voltage electrical injury causes peripheral nerve damage primarily through axonal injury, highlighting the need for follow-up and contralateral comparisons even if initial NCS findings are normal.
Kwon et al. (2013) studied this question.
