Nitin S Barmate, Nilesh K Tumram, Raj Kumar Singh and Manish B Shrigiriwar

Lightning is one of the most potent and extravagant natural phenomena. Deaths related to the striking of lightning occurs in persons functioning in open space like farming, golfing, fishing, swimming, boating, camping, or hiking. Here we present a case of 45 yr male who sustained lightening injuries in form of blast effect causing rupture of the tympanic membrane and mucosal and submucosal hemorrhage in the stomach and intestine. Such a phenomenon is very rare in lightening deaths and is not reported previously in literature to the best of our knowledge.
