Reversible Vision Loss With Pituitary Microadenoma Following PRP Injection for Hair Growth: A Rare Case Report and a Mini-Review of the Literature

This case report presents a rare instance of reversible vision loss in a 22-year-old female following platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection for hair growth, occurring 1 month post-procedure. The vision impairment was due to inflammatory optic neuropathy, not direct vascular occlusion, and was successfully treated with high-dose corticosteroids, resolving within a month. The presence of a pituitary microadenoma raises questions about PRP's role in unmasking latent neurovascular issues. The report highlights the need for careful risk assessment, informed consent updates to include potential severe ocular complications, and further research on PRP's systemic effects.
