A23-year-old woman underwent autologous unpurified fat injection into the left lateral aspect of her nose for aesthetic soft tissue augmentation. Within 90 minutes, she presented with no light perception in the left eye. There was a Grade V left relative afferent pupillary defect. On examination of the left fundus, there was extensive retinal whitening, a cherry-red spot, arteriolar box caring, and multiple fat emboli in the retinal arterioles. Images taken 3 days post injection reveal optic disk pallor, fat emboli in the retinal blood vessels and vitreous, and small discrete yellow exudatelike lesions in the macula in keeping with fat particles seen clinically (Figure 1). Spectral domain optical coherence tomography displays highly reflective deposits in the vitreous in keeping with fat particles seen clinically (Figure 2). The pathogenesis of fat particles in the vitreous is not well understood but postulated to be related to retinal capillary obliteration and inner retinal atrophy. The patient was initially treated medically to lower intraocular pressure. On subsequent follow-up, the patient displayed advanced retinal fibrosis, vessel sclerosis, and optic atrophy. Given the visual acuity, severe optic atrophy, retinal ischemia, and fibrosis, a presumptive diagnosis of ophthalmic artery occlusion was made (patient declined intravenous fluorescein angiography). Although rare, there are several case reports of ocular complications after facial autologous fat injections. 1–5
