RESUMO

RESUMO

A injeção de polimetilmetacrilato (PMMA) é prática difundida na medicina estética como medida rejuvenecedora. No entanto, a injeção facial do PMMA carreia sérios riscos, especialmente se realizada na região glabelar. Descrevemos o caso de uma mulher que imediatamente após injeção glabelar de PMMA apresentou amaurose e oftalmoplegia total, revendo ainda a literatura pertinente.
