Despite the several neurological complications such as polyneuropathy, myelopathy, spinal cord injury, motor neuron disease due to the lightning-induced injury, there is no documented case of unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis. We describe the case of a patient with a history of lightning strike at childhood period, prior the onset of isolated, diaphragmatic paralysis, unilaterally. Clinical and electrophysiological findings suggest an injury restricted to the phrenic nerve, unilaterally.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesslightning injuryphrenic nervediaphragmatic paralysisArticle1420320410.4081/cp.2011.e94N/AWOS:00021520820001424765394
