Ophthalmic Manifestations of Lightning Strike
Survey of Ophthalmology, 2001Every year in the USA, 100-150 people die and 1000-1500 others are injured by lightning strikes. Ophthalmic and neurologic injuries from lightning strike are common. The most common permanent ocular sequela is cataract, but many areas of the eye can be affected. Prompt evaluation by an ophthalmologist is imperative for maximizing outcomes.

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.
