High-voltage electrical burns can cause severe eye injuries like bilateral maculopathy, leading to retinal detachment and vision loss. Prevention campaigns for electrical burns are crucial to reduce these devastating outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Electrical burns present a significant challenge in patient management due to extensive injuries and high socioeconomic costs.
  • Ocular complications, particularly posterior segment lesions, are rare but associated with severe sequelae and permanent visual impairment.

Observation:

  • A case report details a patient with high-voltage electrical burns resulting in bilateral maculopathy.
  • The condition necessitated surgical intervention for retinal detachment.

Findings:

  • The maculopathy evolved to require surgical repair of retinal detachment.
  • Despite intervention, the patient experienced permanent low visual acuity.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the rarity and severity of electrical burn-induced maculopathy.
