Lightning‐Induced Keraunoparalysis and Rhabdomyolysis: A Case Report

Lightning-induced keraunoparalysis is a transient, reversible paralysis that can mimic spinal cord injury, while rhabdomyolysis-even without renal impairment-may coexist. Early recognition, vigilant monitoring, and correction of electrolyte disturbances such as hypokalemia are crucial. This case, reported from a resource-limited setting, underscores the importance of timely conservative management to ensure full recovery and prevent unnecessary interventions or life-threatening complications.

Abstract

Lightning-induced keraunoparalysis is a transient, reversible paralysis that can mimic spinal cord injury, while rhabdomyolysis-even without renal impairment-may coexist. Early recognition, vigilant monitoring, and correction of electrolyte disturbances such as hypokalemia are crucial. This case, reported from a resource-limited setting, underscores the importance of timely conservative management to ensure full recovery and prevent unnecessary interventions or life-threatening complications.
