title: [Neuropathologic findings after electrotrauma in dogs].
abstract: The authors report the results of morphological studies of the brains of dogs on which transcerebral or peripheral electrotraumata were inflicted and which were killed immediately after completion of the experiment. Subarachnoidal and intracerebral hemorrhages were observed in the two groups of experimental animals. Hemorrhages were much less intense in those cases in which so-called peripheral injuries were inflicted on the animals. However, it is reasonable to expect late and permanent functional and morphological damage to the central nervous system to be produced even in those cases where electric current is not caused to flow directly through the brain. This should be carefully considered in any attempt to determine the consequences of electrotraumata.
