We report a case of a 49-year old East-Asian female who presented with delayed onset granuloma formation at the right medial lower eyelid area. The clinical and radiologic presentation with pathologic correlation following synthetic hyaluronic acid filler injection and its management are described along with a review of literature following dermal-filler injections types. Dermal-filler-related granuloma formation should be included in the differential diagnoses of periorbital inflammatory and mass lesions. It is recommended that clinicians who perform this procedure should discuss these risks and possible late complications with patients and provide them with the relevant product information of the injected filler for appropriate management should such early or late complications occur.
We report a case of a 40-year-old East Asian male who presented with multiple facial lacerations and was referred to oculoplastics for periorbital assessment and wound repair. On wound closure, the needle of a 6-0 vicryl suture accidentally detached, and a mobile image intensifier was used which did not detect a foreign body. Surgical closure was done, but upon computed tomography scan of the face, an embedded foreign material was seen. Difficult secondary wound exploration was performed but with the aid of an intraoperative magnetic probe, the 11-mm needle was identified in entirety.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
