Abstract

Two cases of patients struck by lightning are described. One instance occurred while the victim was using the telephone; the other victim received a direct lightning strike to the head. Both patients had acoustic shock injuries and one developed a cerebral infarct. The mechanisms of these injuries are discussed and the relevant literature is reviewed.
