| Abstract: | Man has been exposed to lightning ever since his appearance on earth. This is particularly so when he moves about in open spaces with the risk of being struck by lightning being about 30 times greater in rural areas than in cities. Lightning strikes are not rare and fortunately, the majority survive with no long term sequelae. Any part of the peripheral or central nervous system may be involved. Of crucial importance are the points of contact, and therefore the path of current flow. |
