Abstract
A 26-year-old shepherd man was admitted to the emergency department in June 2020 after ground current effect of lightning strike. With the severity of the trauma, the patient fell to the ground and then fainted. Since the severity of the trauma was not known exactly, there was an open wound in the head, and the patient had dyspnea and elevated liver function tests, cranial, thorax and abdominal computed tomography (CT) were performed. On CT scan, approximately 7-cm-in length grade 3 liver laceration, extending between segment V and segment VIII was seen without intra-abdominal pathology. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). During the follow-up, liver function tests returned to normal. Liver laceration was managed conservatively. The patient was discharged on the 6th day of hospitalization, as no complications or massive bleeding signs were observed in the intensive care follow-up, his vital signs stabilized, and his symptoms improved.
