ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To report the clinical and tomographic findings in a case of maculopathy secondary to high-tension electric current strike. CASE REPORT: A 27-year-old male refers a reduction in his visual acuity after electric strike. Visual acuity was 0.05 in both eyes. Circular reddish macular lesions measuring 400 micro m in RE and 200 micro m in LE were evident. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed intraretinal foveal cysts. At the third month follow-up visit, visual acuity had improved to 0.4 in RE and 0.5 in LE. Clinical and tomographic evaluation showed a reduction of the foveal cysts. DISCUSSION: Electricity affects retinal pigment epithelium and retina by thermal denaturation. OCT provides a conclusive diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Reportar hallazgos clínicos y tomográficos de maculopatía por descarga eléctrica. Caso Clinico: Paciente varón, 27 años con disminución visual tras descarga eléctrica. Agudezas visuales de 0,05 en ambos ojos. Lesiones maculares circulares, rojizas, de 400 µm en OD y 200 µm en OI. Tomografía óptica coherente demostró lesiones foveales quísticas intraretinianas. A los 3 meses la agudeza visual mejoró a 0,4 en OD y 0,5 en OI con reducción de los quistes foveales clínica y tomográficamente. Discusión: La electricidad afecta el epitelio pigmentario y retina externa por desnaturalización térmica. La tomografía es concluyente para el diagnóstico (AU)
