Abstract
Autologous fat injection is a common procedure used for skin augmentation. Although it is believed to be a safe and simple procedure, severe complications have been reported sometimes. The authors experienced the patient with acute large cerebral infarction including the territories of the anterior and middle cerebral arteries and optic nerve infarction developing after autologous fat transplantation. A 32-year-old woman was referred to the emergency room of our hospital due to sudden stupor. Thirty minutes earlier, she was undergoing cosmetic autologous fat injection into the glabella area by a plastic surgeon at private clinic. The cause was confirmed to be anterior and middle cerebral arteries infarction on brain imaging studies. When patient present abrupt mental change, hemiplegia, ocular pain, or blindness after autologous fat particle injection, physicians must consider cerebral infarction and combined retinal artery occlusion.
