Electrical injuries to humans from a lightning strike are associated with significant rates of morbidity and fatality. High-voltage injuries including those caused by lightning strikes are pulmonary edema, pulmonary contusion, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and pulmonary hemorrhages. Patients who get injured experience secondary trauma in addition to direct and indirect injury. In this report, we present the case of a 62-year-old male patient with complaints of shortness of breath, vomiting, and hoarseness of voice. The patient's treatment included airway protection, antibiotics, corticosteroids, and supportive care; however, the patient did not survive due to a severe lung contusion.
