The electrical current entered through the left hand and exited through the occipital area of the head. The degree of weakness on bilateral upper and lower extremities was 3\u20134 on the Medical Research Council strength scale. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was performed 5.8\u2009years after onset. The CST and CRP were depicted by placing two regions of interest for each neural tract on the two-dimensional fractional anisotropy color map. DTT of the DTI scan showed that the bilateral CST and CRP were thinned compared to those of the healthy control subject. On the nerve conduction test, abnormal findings suggesting peripheral nerve lesion were not observed. Therefore, injury of bilateral CST and CRP seems to have contributed to our patient\u2019s weakness after the electrical shock.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Depiction of neural tracts in the brain using DTT can assist in the accurate and detailed evaluation of the cause of neural deficit after electrical injury.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12883-020-01707-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,13]],"date-time":"2020-04-13T08:02:26Z","timestamp":1586764946000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Injury of Corticospinal tract and Corticoreticular pathway caused by high-voltage electrical shock: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Mathieu","family":"Boudier-Rev\u00e9ret","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ming-Yen","family":"Hsiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shaw-Gang","family":"Shyu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Min Cheol","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,13]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"1707_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"237","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.10184","volume":"43","author":"A John Bailer","year":"2003","unstructured":"John Bailer A, Bena JF, Stayner LT, Halperin WE, Park RM.
