Although the CMB anisotropy is an important probe of primordial fluctuations at recombination, which carries information on the cosmological parameters as well as the nature of dark matter, CMB photons are also affected gravitationally by nonlinear structures between recombination and the present epoch. In this paper, using Thompson & Vishniac's model [1], we investigate the effect of a void network on the CMB anisotropy in the Einstein-de Sitter background. In particular, we estimate both the Rees-Sciama effect [2] and the gravitational lensing effect (see, e.g., [3]).
