Popis:	Microspheres of polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) are exciting new soft-tissue fillers that are becoming increasing popular for facial rejuvenation. Some reports of side effects of this procedure are basically in respect to dermal reaction, with late-onset granulomatous lesion with giant cells and vacuoles. We report blindness and total ophthalmoplegia after PMMA injection into glabellar area in a healthy woman and review the literature.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.
