| Abstract |
|
We recently obsesved an unusual case of visual loss after the facial injection of autologous fat. A 42-year-old woman underwent autologous fat injection into the temple area to reduce facial wrinkles. The procedure was performed by a surgeon at local clinic. The patient immediately complained of severe right hemicranial pain and lid swelling. She vistied to the ophthalmic department of our hospital 1 week later because of total loss of vision on the right eye. We believe that the cause of blindness was multiple microembolization in the central retinal artery and posterior ciliary branches of the ophthalmic artery via lateral palpebral artery. |
