Lightning: a rare cause of intrauterine death with maternal survival.
Being struck by lightning is frequently a fatal event. Prompt attention to cardiopulmonary resuscitation, even in the patient who appears dead, will often bring dramatic results. In the pregnant patient, one can only hope that rapid restoration of cardiac and pulmonary activity will decrease perinatal mortality.
