Acute fatal stroke immediately following autologous fat injection into the face

Abstract

logic, and anatomopathologic data presented. Because the first steroid treatment, which was initiated while the patient was still on riluzole, had no lasting effect on his complaints, whereas discontinuation of riluzole combined with steroid treatment improved his condition, we consider the diagnosis of HP caused by riluzole to be probable.The diagnosis of HP should be considered in patients with ALS taking riluzole and presenting with dyspnea, weight loss, and occasionally fever, in association with pulmonary infiltrates and a lymphocytic broncho-alveolar lavage fluid. The HP reaction does not depend on dosage, only on prior sensitization to the agent.

Systematic review of perianal implants in the treatment of faecal incontinence

“…Possible reasons for this were resorption and/or migration of the injected material 10 . These materials are also potentially associated with significant local and systemic adverse events, whether used in the management of faecal incontinence or other conditions 45,48 (Table S4, supporting information).…”

Acellular Dermal Grafts for Tear Trough Deformity in Revision Lower Blepharoplasty

“…3 Furthermore, serious complications, such as blindness and stroke, have been reported with fat injection near the eyes. 4,5 Hyaluronic acid fillers have been described for use in tear trough deformities. 6 Although easily administered as an in-office procedure, potential adverse events include irregularities, bruising, erythema, local swelling, pain, and possible vascular compromise.…”
