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.

Liver Injuries

Liver injuries caused by high voltage electricity are rare and result in high mortality and morbidity. They are produced by the resistance to the passage of electrical current through the tissue, which creates heat that leads to coagulation necrosis and rupture of the cell membrane. We present a case of an electrical injury to the liver, diagnosed by ultrasound and CT in a 39-year-old man who presented with skin burns on his right hand and right hemiabdomen. Injuries occurred after the contact with 220 kV high voltage electricity.

Introduction: Melanocytoma of the optic disc is a benign lesion. Objective: To describe a case of optic disc melanocytoma Case: A 48-year old lady presented with gradual visual impairment associated with a floater. The right eye fundus examination showed a mass uniformly dark black in colour on the optic disc. The mass completely obscured the fluorescence on fluorescein angiography and was thus differentiated from malignant melanoma. Conclusion: Optic disc melanocytoma can present with visual impairment and a floater. Fluorescein angiography can be useful to differentiate between malignDOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/nepjoph.v4i2.6553 Nepal J Ophthalmol 2012; 4 (2): 323-325
