Abstract :
Lightning injury is one of the most frequent injuries by natural phe- nomenon. It may involve all organ systems; short-term mortality gener- ally depends on its cardiac affects. We present an 8-year-old boy with myocardial infarction (MI) and late ventricular tachycardia secondary to indirect lightning strike.
