What They Found
A 25-year-old female immediately experienced blindness and dizziness, losing all light sensation in her right eye within 10 minutes of an ear hyaluronic acid injection. After emergency intravascular interventional therapy and a multi-faceted treatment approach including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, she regained light perception and her mottled skin discoloration resolved.
