Arm pain in a 60-year-old male patient, strunk by lightning 6 years ago, underwent sympathetic nerve block without effect, but was successfully treated with prostaglandin E1 i. v. injection. The patient's sympathetic nerve system may be demaged by lightning as nerve block therapy does not effect a cure.
