Purpose:
This is a case report of a male patient who suffered a high-voltage electrical burn and presented with bilateral pigmentary retinopathy.
Methods:
A 40-year-old man presented with bilateral vision loss following a high-voltage electrical injury sustained 10 years earlier. Family history, ocular history, and anterior segment evaluation were unremarkable.
Results:
Fundus examination revealed bilateral optic disc pallor, widespread areas of chorioretinal atrophy, and pigmentary changes surrounding the optic disc that partially involved the macula with some spared areas located on the superior retina.
Conclusions:
Retinal manifestations following a high-voltage electrical injury can resemble other hereditary and inflammatory diseases with similar clinical patterns, therefore, a meticulous family, medical, and clinical evaluation is essential.
