TY - JOUR T1 - Focal lingual dystonia, urinary incontinence, and sensory deficits secondary to low voltage electrocution: case report and literature review JF - Emergency Medicine Journal JO - Emerg Med J SP - 368 LP - 371 DO - 10.1136/emj.19.4.368 VL - 19 IS - 4 AU - J R Baskerville AU - S A McAninch Y1 - 2002/07/01 UR - http://emj.bmj.com/content/19/4/368.abstract N2 - Electrocution injuries are well reported in review articles and cases of high voltage electrocution injury are abundant. However, reports of low voltage electrocution injury are few. A case is presented of low voltage shock from a 120 volt AC source with presentation, acute and chronic course, and a five year follow up. The patient experienced several unusual complications of low voltage electrocution: a persistent right tongue deviation, which initially presents as an isolated hypoglossal nerve palsy, but subsequently manifests as a focal lingual dystonia; total body paresthesia with urinary incontinence; and persistent sensory deficits to the face and tongue.
