“…Certains auteurs ont suggéré qu'elle était en rapport avec la vulnérabilité particulière de cette région cérébrale aux variations de température [ 9 ]. L'infarctus cérébelleux est la lésion anatomopathologique la plus souvent décrite lors de l'atteinte cérébelleuse après électrisation ou foudroiement [ 10 , 11 ]. Une dégénérescence rapide du cervelet a été rapportée, avec nécrose des cellules de Purkinje observée moins de 24 heures après le foudroiement [ 9 ].…”

Les accidents d’électrisation (AE) sont relativement fréquents dans la vie quotidienne. L'atrophie cérébelleuse représente une complication rare. Nous rapportons deux cas d'atrophie cérébelleuse qui se sont manifestés révélés par un état d'agitation psychomotrice. L'atteinte du cervelet était bilatérale chez le premier tandis que chez le deuxième, elle était unilatérale droite associée à celle du cerveau droit. La particularité que présentent nos deux observations est non seulement la rareté de l'atrophie cérébelleuse dans les complications neurologiques post AE mais aussi par son mode d'expression clinique.

“…It can be speculated that apart from duration, a direct damage to tracheal mucosa from the burns or from smoke inhalation must have occurred. [ 51 52 ] Consideration should be given to low-dose steroids as adjuvant prophylactic therapy in patients with burns to face and neck or those with smoke inhalation requiring airway control.

An algorithm on the indications and timing for a surgical airway in emergency as such cannot be drawn due to the multiplicity of variables and the inapplicability in the context of life-threatening critical emergency, where human brain elaborates decisions better in cluster rather than in binary fashion. In particular, in emergency or urgent scenarios, there is no clear or established consensus as to specifically who should receive a tracheostomy as a life-saving procedure; and more importantly, when. The two classical indications for emergency tracheostomy (laryngeal injury and failure to secure airway with endotracheal intubation or cricothyroidotomy) are too generic and encompass a broad spectrum of possibilities. In literature, specific indications for emergency tracheostomy are scattered and are biased, partially comprehensive, not clearly described or not homogeneously gathered. The review highlights the indications and timing for an emergency surgical airway and gives recommendations on which surgical airway method to use in critical airway.

Burn-induced tracheal stenosis is rare. This article reports an extensive burn patient who developed severe tracheomalacia and stenosis before wound healing. Given the ineffectiveness of the conventional techniques available for the treatment of tracheal stenosis, we used an extended tracheal cannula to dilate the narrowed part of the trachea successfully. As a result, the extensive burn wound was repaired, and the symptoms of tracheal stenosis were eventually relieved. No serious restenosis was observed during a 2-year follow-up period.
