Özet
A complication of electrical burns that increase the dysfunction is the peripheral nerve compression syndrome. Here, we presented a seventeen-year-old male patient who had an above-elbow amputation on the left and developed burns and severe median nerve entrapment in the right upper extremity after an electrical shock and underwent ultrasound-guided hydrodissection treatment. After the treatment, the edema detected ultrasonographically in the median nerve regressed, pain decreased and hand functions improved in the right upper extremity.
