We present a rare case of corneal abrasion with mild eyelid epitheliopathy caused by a high-voltage electrical spark. The case includes emergency department evaluation and subsequent management at the burn center with ophthalmology. The prognosis, in this case, is good, however, the potential severity of high-voltage electrical injuries can be much worse. Prevention strategies for occupational electrical injuries are discussed with an emphasis on proper personal protective equipment (PPE).
我们报告一例罕见的由高压电火花导致的伴有轻度眼睑上皮病变的角膜擦伤病例。该病例包括在急诊科的评估以及随后在烧伤中心眼科进行的处理。在此病例中,预后良好,然而,高压电损伤的潜在严重性可能会更糟。文中讨论了职业性电损伤的预防策略,重点强调了正确使用个人防护装备(PPE)。
