Abstract
During electrical accidents, various mechanisms are observed: electric flash, electric arc, lightning and true electrification. Whatever the mechanism, various types of lesions can be observed such as subarachnoid hemorrhages. Exposure to a high voltage current, the appearance of initial consciousness disorder, the existence of skin burn lesions testifying to the passage of current through the cephalic end homolateral to the hemorrhage, the existence of hemorrhage meningeal at d0, the real existence of this complication in victims of lightning strikes (which is an electric shock) and the existence of a similar case in the literature make electric accidents, an etiology of hemorrhage meningeal.
