Paraparesis following peripheral and central nervous system lesions after a lightning strike – a case report

This case documents paraparesis resulting from both central and peripheral nervous system damage following a lightning strike. Unique spinal cord imaging results and neurophysiological studies contribute to the understanding of nerve damage mechanisms. Given the increasing frequency of lightning strikes, these findings may help refining clinical management and patient education strategies.
