Abstract:
An unusual full-thickness burn of the scalp and cranial bones due to a lightning strike is reported. A thick nylon cover protected the head from the direct effects of the lightning injury, but heated water over the thick nylon cover caused full-thickness burn of the scalp and cranial bones. The relevant literature has been reviewed.
