Peripapillary retinal thermal coagulation following electrical injury
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, we have presented the case report of a 20 year old boy who suffered an electric injury shock, following which he showed peripapillary retinal opacification and increased retinal thickening that subsequently progressed to retinal atrophy. The fluorescein angiogram revealed normal retinal circulation, thus indicating thermal damage to retina without any compromise to retinal circulation.

Sudden severe visual loss associated with peripapillary burns during panretinal argon photocoagulation.
A 31-year-old woman lost central visual acuity in her left eye during scatter argon laser photocoagulation when her ophthalmologist treated the temporal peripapillary region. There was no evidence for a vascular explanation. Previous experimental work showed that the lateral spread of thermal energy into the optic nerve parenchyma from the peripapillary pigment epithelium and choroid can destro...

A 26-year-old-man who had suffered a severe electrical injury 3 years previously presented with blurred vision in his left eye caused by a posterior subcapsular cataract with nuclear sclerotic changes and peripapillary chorioretinal scarring. The pattern of retinal atrophy surrounding the optic nerve suggests a possible path of electrical current to the eye and demonstrates the selective tissue...
