Abstract:   (10394 Views)

Ligthning - associated injuries (L -AI) are rare and not well recognized by many physicians. Awareness of pathophysiology and first line therapy would improve final prognosis in these patients.

In last 10 years we have seen 5 cases of L-AI in plastic & reconstructive surgery hospital center in Tehran. They presented with 3-24% (average 16%) total body surface burn injury.

Cardiac arrhytmia, fractures, myoglobulinuria, vision and hearing impairments and abnormal neurological findings are major complications of L-AI.

Detail of cases are discussed in this article.
