What They Found

A 37-year-old woman experienced immediate left-side hearing loss, facial blanching, and pain after self-injecting a dermal filler, with a computed tomography angiogram confirming superficial temporal artery branch occlusion. Following 6 hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments over 3 days, her ischaemic discoloration significantly decreased, and her hearing returned to baseline.
