Abstract
- We recently observed an unusual case of visual loss after periocular injection of silicone oil. A 31-year-old woman immediately experienced total loss of vision in the left eye with ipsilateral headache and ocular pain, dyspnea, abdominal pain, general weakness, and transient coma after subcutaneous injection of silicone oil on the glabellar area to reduce the facial wrinkles. We believe that the cause of blindness was multiple embolization in the central retinal artery and posterior ciliary branches of the ophthalmic artery.
