| ABSTRACT |
|
Lightning injury can cause systemic deterioration, including neurologic deficits. We present a case of lightning injury with reversible neurologic deficits in a 49-year-old man. Clinical manifestations of neurologic deficits due to lightning injury vary from lightheadedness to paralysis. In order to achieve a favorable outcome, immediate respiratory support and careful neurologic examinations are key elements during initial resuscitation. If secondary injuries due to any type of trauma following lightning were suspected, emergency physicians should make a decision regarding use of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. |
