Description
Summary:A 42-year-old woman presented to the emergency room with sudden visual loss in her right eye, followed shortly by confusion, dysarthria, and left hemiplegia when she was undergoing autologous fat injection into the right temporal area. In a previous systematic review and meta-analysis of patients with vascular complications occurring after aesthetic procedures, unilateral blindness was the most frequent vascular adverse event associated with cosmetic fillers for facial tissue augmentation. According to the literature, ophthalmic artery occlusion is routinely associated with irreversible blindness.
