Choroid vascular occlusion and ischemic optic neuropathy after facial calcium hydroxyapatite injection- a case report

چکیده
BACKGROUND We reported a case of sudden monocular vision loss after calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) injection into the nasal tip and dorsum with detailed retina images. CASE PRESENTATION A healthy, 35-year-old woman received CaHA filler injection for nose augmentation. Ten minutes after the procedure, she developed nausea, vomiting, headache, ptosis, and left periorbital pain. After 30 minutes, she complained of progressively blurring vision in the left eye. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in her left eye was 30 cm ahead of hand motion. Left exotropia was noted in primary gaze. Limitations in adduction, supraduction, and infraduction of the left eye were also observed. Slit lamp examination of the left eye revealed a pink conjunctiva, a clear cornea, a mild anterior chamber reaction, a sluggish papillary light reflex, and a semi-dilated pupil. A positive relative afferent pupillary defect was observed in the left eye. Fundus examination revealed optic disc edema and some linear whitish opacity over the superior and temporal sites in the left eye, suggesting multiple CaHA emboli in the choroid vessels. CONCLUSIONS Although the majority of adverse reactions are mild and transient, surgeons should be alert about extremely rare serious adverse events such as visual loss.

Posterior Ciliary Artery Occlusion Caused by Hyaluronic Acid Injections Into the Forehead
Although cosmetic facial soft tissue fillers are generally safe and effective, improper injections can lead to devastating and irreversible consequences. We represent the first known case of posterior ciliary artery occlusion caused by hyaluronic acid. A 41-year-old female presented with right visual loss 7 hours after receiving cosmetic hyaluronic acid injections into her forehead. Examination...

Dermal soft-tissue augmentation using a filler is a technique widely used for facial cosmetic enhancement. However, potential complications following facial cosmetic injections have heightened the possibility of iatrogenic visual loss. We report two cases of severe ocular complications after nasal cosmetic enhancement. Both cases had poor visual outcomes in spite of emergency management. The se...

INTRODUCTION An "overlap syndrome" is defined as the sequential appearance over time of two or more risk factors for glaucomatous damage. The appearance of a new risk factor can alter the course and prognosis of previously stable disease. Exfoliation syndrome is a leading cause of glaucoma and is associated with vascular disease. We report a case of central retinal artery occlusion and non-arte...
