Abstract :
Electrical burns are a special type of burn in which a certain amount of current passes through the human body and causes different degrees of tissue injury, organ dysfunction, or sudden death. Compared with other burn patients, the amputation rate of electric burns is higher and often leads to various complications. In this study, a case of severe electric burn complicated with unilateral electric cataract was reported, which recovered well after 173 days of operation and symptomatic support.
