Abstract: Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) is widely used in clinical practice due to its precise efficacy, high safety and low invasiveness. BTX-A injections may cause some common complications, such as unnatural expression, brow deformity, ptosis, diplopia, and rare allergic reactions, dysphagia, and dyspnea. There are reports in the literature that visual loss can also occur after injection, and although there are very few relevant reports, clinicians should pay enough attention on it. To this end, the authors reviewed the relevant literature in recent years and reviewed the clinical manifestations, pathogenesis and treatment method of vision loss caused by BTX-A injection.
