ABSTRACT
A twenty-three year old korean officer was exposed accidentally to high-tension electric current(22,900 voltage). He lost consciousness for about three days. The point of entry was the palm area of the right hand and the point of exit was the lateral area of the right thigh. He sustained second and third degree burn on the exposed area and face, neck, anterior chest, abdomen, right thigh. He subsequently developed yellow-gray foveolar lesion and macular hole, cataract, and iritis with central visual-loss in both eyes. Fluorescein angiography demonstrated the area of retinal pigment epithelial disruption. We suspected that it was electric current induced full-thickness macular hole, not photochemical macular hole, because his companion did not seeing a bright flash light and successively central visual loss.
