ABSTRACT
A 29-year-old man involved in a minor road traffic accident developed visual loss in right eye. On ophthalmological examination he had multiple exudates and edema at the posterior pole of right eye. We present the earlyangiographic findings and the late sequelar, and then suggest that total clinical picture may be purtscher's retinopathy caused by rapid of arterial and venous pressure leading to vascular damage in the nerve fiber layer.

Malignant hyperthermia is of particular interest to ophthalmologist because of higher incidence in children and its' potential for occurrence in strabismus and blepharoptosis patients. We analyzed the serologic data including serum CPK and the effectiveness of dantrolene sodium in strabismus children for screening carriers of malignant hyperthermia. The results were as follows; 1. Comprehensive studies including family history, laboratory test, underlying muscular disorder, muscle biopsy for susceptible individuals can help to make the diagnosis accurately. 2. No significant difference on serum CPK, LDH, GOT levels between the strabismus patients and control groups. 3. Dantrolene Sodium is effective agent for preventing malignant hyperthermia. 4. General anesthesia or stress associated with surgery and sex were the factors influencing serum CPK levels(i.e., values were significantly higher in postoperative periods and males).
