Dysphagia following lightning strike
Dysphagia, 1988Numerous articles on the topic of neurologic, cardiac, and burn complications following electrical injury have appeared in the literature since 1934 [1]. Specific mention of dysphagia as a complication of survivors of this type of injury was not found on literature review. For this reason our case is of particular interest.

Lightning strike protection of composites
Progress in Aerospace Sciences, 2014Abstract Aircraft structures are being redesigned to use fiber-reinforced composites mainly due to their high specific stiffness and strength. One of the main drawbacks from changing from electrically conductive metals to insulating or semi-conducting composites is the higher vulnerability of the aircraft to lightning strike damage.

Electrical shock and lightning strike
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1993Cardiac arrest from electrical shock or lightning strike is associated with significant mortality and requires modification and extension of standard advanced life support measures to achieve successful resuscitation. Patients who experience electrical shock or lightning strike may sustain cardiac and respiratory arrest secondary to the direct effects ...

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1994
A case is presented of a teen-aged athlete who sustained a direct lightning strike to the head while wearing a football helmet. The helmet, the presence of sweat, and aggressive resuscitation were instrumental in his survival and complete recovery. This appears to be the first documentation of a lightning strike to an individual wearing protective ...

Fatal Lightning Strikes in Malaysia
American Journal of Forensic Medicine & Pathology, 2009Lightning strike is a natural phenomenon with potentially devastating effects and represents one of the important causes of deaths from environmental phenomena. Almost every organ system may be affected as lightning current passes through the human body taking the shortest pathways between the contact points.

Neuropathology of Lightning-strike Injuries
Seminars in Neurology, 1995When a person is struck by lightning a spectrum of neurologic damage can result. Approximately one third of the strikes prove to be fatal. The possibility of damage to the CNS relates to the type of lightning injury (direct strike, stride potential, or side flash), the intensity and duration of the current, the pathway of the current within the body ...
