Abstract

Although electrical injury is rare, it is important due to the high rate of morbidity and mortality. Electrical injury may cause many systemical and neurological symptoms. Disorders of higher cortical functions due to electrical shock are very rare. Prosopagnosia is a selective agnosia that occurs due to the dysfunction of cortical networks. Cerebral injury, congenital and hereditary disorders are the reasons of prosopagnosia. Involvement of bilateral inferior and medial visual association cortex, bilateral lesions of the lingual and fusiform gyrus, anterior temporal region lesions and lesions of occipitotemporal areas may cause prosopagnosia. Presented in this report is a 46-year-old man who suffered from secondary generalized seizure and prosopagnosia after an electrical injury

Özet

Elektrik çarpmaları seyrek görülen kazalardan olmasına rağmen yüksek oranda morbidite ve mortaliteye yol açmaları nedeniyle önem taşımaktadır. Elektrik çarpması sonucu pek çok sistemik ya da nörolojik tutulum bulguları ortaya çıkabilir. Elektrik hasarı sonucu yüksek kortikal fonksiyon bozukluğu gelişmesi çok nadirdir. Prosopagnozi, kortikal yolakların hasarı sonucu ortaya çıkan selektif bir agnozidir ve etyolojisinde serebral hasarlar, konjenital ve kalıtımsal bozukluklar yer alır. Prosopagnozi; inferior ve medial vizüel assosiyasyon kortekslerindeki bilateral lezyonlar, bilateral lingual ve fusiform girus lezyonları, anterior temporal bölge lezyonları ve oksipitotemporal bölge lezyonlarında ortaya çıkar. Bu yazıda elektrik çarpması sonucu sekonder jeneralize epileptik nöbet ve sonrasında prosopagnozi gelişen 46 yaşında bir erkek olgu sunulmuştur
