MRI of lightning injury: early white matter changes associated with cerebral dysfunction

W J Milton et al. J Okla State Med Assoc. 1996 Mar.

Abstract

A previously healthy male was struck by lightning. He developed neurologic deficits, including mild cerebral brain dysfunction. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed numerous foci of hyperintensity on long TR images, scattered throughout the supratentorial white matter. To our knowledge, the early MRI findings of lightning injury have not been previously reported.
