abstract="The neurologic changes following lightning injury include coma with cerebral edema, inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), seizures, cerebellar ataxia, and painful sensory disturbances. Deteriorating neurologic status may warrant the use of intracranial pressure monitoring devices. Myocardial injury and transient hypertension are generally evident at the onset. Monitoring of the cardiac rhythm may be needed for as long as a week for late onset arrythmia. Abnormalities of memory, mood, and affect noted on recovery of consciousness may persist for months, necessitating close psychiatric and neurlologic follow-up.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
