Lichtenberg Flowers

 



Lichtenberg Flowers can be seen in Lightning Strikes

Superficial several inches long thin irregular torturous dendritic marks on the skin. These marks have resemblance to the branches of a tree 

They indicate the path taken by the discharge and tend to follow skin creases and the long axis of the body. 

Causes: The exact mechanism has not been determined 

1. Static electricity discharges along superficial vasculature 
2. Hemoglobin staining the tissues in the pattern of a tree due to breakdown of RBCs within the capillaries of the skin. 
3. Electron showers eliciting  an inflammatory response in the skin
