The case of a 19 year old man struck by lightning is described. He sustained quadriplegia for several months and fully recovered. It is suggested that his weakness was due to extensive peripheral nerve damage. In addition, he displayed many well recognised medical complications of lightning injury including acute renal failure, rhabdomyolysis, respiratory distress syndrome, autonomic dysfunction, perforated ear drum, uveitis and cataract. The literature relating to the neurology of lightning strike is briefly reviewed.
本文描述了一名19岁男性遭雷击的病例。他曾出现四肢瘫痪数月,最终完全康复。据推测,他的肌无力是由广泛的周围神经损伤所致。此外,他还出现了许多公认的雷击伤相关医学并发症,包括急性肾衰竭、横纹肌溶解、呼吸窘迫综合征、自主神经功能障碍、鼓膜穿孔、葡萄膜炎和白内障。本文简要回顾了与雷击神经学相关的文献。
