Isolated pulmonary injury following electric shock: a case report and literature review

EIPI is a rare but potentially severe consequence of electrocution, often presenting as bilateral lung consolidations and alveolar hemorrhage. Given the variability in presentation and severity, chest imaging should be considered in all cases after electrocution, even in the absence of external injuries. Early recognition and appropriate treatment are essential to ensure favorable outcomes, with surgical intervention considered in selected cases.

Abstract

EIPI is a rare but potentially severe consequence of electrocution, often presenting as bilateral lung consolidations and alveolar hemorrhage. Given the variability in presentation and severity, chest imaging should be considered in all cases after electrocution, even in the absence of external injuries. Early recognition and appropriate treatment are essential to ensure favorable outcomes, with surgical intervention considered in selected cases.
