Abstract

14. An Unusual Case Report of Lightening Injury

Dr. G.Lokendranath and Dr. R.Prabhakar Rao

IRPMS, 2015; 1(2): 57-59.

ABSTRACT

Electric potentials play an essential role in our body for every activity through nerve endings – (synapses) by chemical transmitters. Lightening injures the C.N.S and Autonomic nervous systems due to varied resistance in individuals, with effects of asymptomatic, burns, seizures and residual acute or chronic neuronal changes, cardiovascular and pulmonary complications. Here, we present an article highlighting the rarity of a young woman surviving without any cardiac morbidity, in spite of a lightening burn injury on chest below neck close to the heart when high intensified voltage damaged the gold necklace to residual charred scrap. Fortunately, she had only residual superficial burns on body and rupture of left tympanic membrane.

Key-words: Lightening, Burn, Injury.
