Cerebellar atrophy post electrocution accident manifested by psychomotor agitation state: about 2 cases
Marcellin Bugeme, Olivier Mukuku, John Makong Kiji, Bienvenu Mukuku Ruhindiza, Emmanuel Muyumba

TL;DR
This paper reports two rare cases of cerebellar atrophy following electrocution accidents, presenting with psychomotor agitation.
Contribution
The novelty lies in the rare manifestation of cerebellar atrophy post-electrocution and its unique clinical expression.
Findings
Cerebellar atrophy occurred bilaterally in one patient and unilaterally in the other.
Both cases presented with psychomotor agitation, a rare clinical expression of this condition.
The rarity of cerebellar atrophy as a complication of electrocution is highlighted.
Abstract
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.
