Bilateral macular cysts following electric burn

A 28‐year‐old man presented with bilateral acute loss of vision following a high‐voltage injury. The visual acuity was 6/36 in the right eye and 6/24 in the left eye. Fundus examination revealed a well‐defined round lesion simulating a full thickness macular hole in the right eye and yellow deposits...

Description
Summary:A 28‐year‐old man presented with bilateral acute loss of vision following a high‐voltage injury. The visual acuity was 6/36 in the right eye and 6/24 in the left eye. Fundus examination revealed a well‐defined round lesion simulating a full thickness macular hole in the right eye and yellow deposits in the macular area in the left eye. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed bilateral macular cysts, with intact outer and inner retinal layers. At 1 month follow up, OCT showed a persistent macular cyst in the right eye with spontaneous resolution of the macular cyst along with visual improvement in the left eye.
