Lightning strike‑induced cauda equina syndrome: a case report.

<p>Peripheral nerve injuries after being struck by lightning have been documented. Here, we report a case of cauda equina syndrome induced by lightning. A 27-year-old man presented with numbness, a burning sensation in the saddle region, and increased urinary urgency after being struck by lightning. He had absent Achilles reflexes and paresthesia in the saddle region upon neurological examination, and magnetic resonance imaging of the spine was normal. Electrophysiological studies indicated involvement of bilateral L5, S1, and S2 myotomes and revealed cauda equina lesions.&nbsp;<br>Peripheral nerve injury induced by lightning is rare, and the evaluation of people with neurological complaints using electromyography will help determine the true incidence.</p>. <p>A szakirodalomban tal&aacute;lhat&oacute; besz&aacute;mol&oacute; vill&aacute;mcsap&aacute;s ut&aacute;n kialakul&oacute; perif&eacute;ri&aacute;s idegs&eacute;r&uuml;l&eacute;sről.
