The majority of cutaneous injuries seen in victims struck by lightning are superficial and heal without sequelae. Common cutaneous findings associated with lightning strike include punctate full-thickness burns, linear charring, and contact burns from overlying metal objects. Branching or ferning marks are an uncommon and unusual cutaneous manifestation. These ferning patterns are called Lichtenberg figures. Similar-appearing electrical phenomena were first noted by an 18th-century physicist of the same name. A case report with review of the literature is presented. The histopathologic features of the figures are described for the first time.
在遭受雷击的受害者中，大多数皮肤损伤是表浅的，可自愈且无后遗症。与雷击相关的常见皮肤表现包括点状全层烧伤、线状烧焦以及来自上方金属物体的接触性烧伤。树枝状或蕨样纹是一种罕见且不寻常的皮肤表现。这些蕨样图案被称为“里氏纹”。类似的电现象最早由一位18世纪同名物理学家发现。本文呈现了一份病例报告并对文献进行回顾。首次描述了这些图案的组织病理学特征。
