Abstract

A 50 year old woman has lost her vision on the right eye abruptly, after subcutaneous Paraffin injection on-the forehead, for cosmetic correction of skin folds. The cause of blindness seems to be due to central retinal artery occlusion and probably to the thrombosis of ophthalmic vein too. It is likely that occlusion of the artery has develoded by compression of tile vessels from outward, but spastic occlusion of the arteries in hypersensitive reaction could not be ruled out.
