Abstract

Strike of lightning should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any subject who is found unconscious outdoors. The central nervous system can be affected by lightning strikes immediately or at a later stage. Mainly six types of cutaneous findings occur as a result of being struck by lightning. They include linear burns, punctate burns, Lichtenberg figures, contact burns from overlying metal objects, superficial erythema and their combinations. Lichtenberg figure is pathognomonic for lightning strikes. The cutaneous lesion looks like a fern. Pathognomonic skin findings should not be overlooked.

Özet

Yıldırım çarpması açık havada baygın olarak bulunan hastaların ayırıcı tanısında akılda tutulmalıdır. Santral sinir sistemi yıldırım çarpmasına bağlı hemen etkilenebileceği gibi, geç etkileri de ortaya çıkabilir. Yıldırım çarpmasına bağlı olarak başlıca altı tip deri bulgusu ile karşılaşabiliriz. Bunlar lineer yanıklar, noktasal yanıklar, lichtenberg figürleri, metallere bağlı termal yanıklar, süperfisiyal eritem ve bunların kombinasyonlarıdır. Lichtenberg figürleri yıldırım çarpması için tanı koydurucu bulgudur. Ciltte oluşan lezyon eğrelti otuna benzer. Patognomonik deri bulguları atlanmamalıdır.
