abstract="Lightning strike victims are rarely presented at an emergency department. Burns are often the primary focus. This case report describes the improvised explosive device like-injury to the thorax due to lightning strike and its treatment, which has not been described prior in (kerauno)medicine. Penetrating injury due to blast from lightning strike is extremely rare. These &quot;shrapnel&quot; injuries should however be ruled out in all patients struck by lightning.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
