TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - Basal ganglia hemorrhage related to lightning strike JO - AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology A1 - Ozgun, B. A1 - Castillo, M. SP - 1370 EP - 1371 VL - 16 IS - 6 N2 - We describe a case of bilateral basal ganglia hemorrhage after a lightning strike to the head documented by a CT scan. Review of the literature shows this to be the most common brain imaging finding that can be attributed to a lightning strike. Several mechanistic theories are discussed, with the most plausible one being related to preferential conduction pathways through the brain.
