A case of peripheral neuropathy from contact with military radar equipment.
Complex early and late neuropathies resulting from direct and conductive electrical patterns of injury are disabling and extremely challenging to manage. We report a patient who suffered acute onset of right-hand weakness and decreased sensation following a radar equipment-related electrical injury. He received a carpal and Guyon tunnel release, regaining sensation and strength to his right hand by the first postoperative day.
