The middle facial necrosis is a rare pathology that can be found related to multiple processes that can provoque it: traumatic, chemical, infections, inflammatory and tumorals. So for its diagnosis we require a wide differential diagnosis. We present a clinic case of a nose aspirated cocaine female patient who came to our department with a middle-facial necrosis not telling to us in the anamnesis the cocaine use. We were obliged to do multiple diagnostic tests searching other possible causes.

Functional cell death pathways are essential for normal ocular vascular development and tissue homeostasis. As our understanding of necrosis-based cell death pathways has expanded, the inclusion of regulated forms, including necroptosis, ferroptosis, and oxytosis, has occurred. Although the existence of these pathways is well described, our understanding of their role during vascular development and pathological neovascularization is very limited.

Mitochondria are essential double-membrane organelles with intricate structures and diverse functions within cells. Under normal physiological conditions, mitochondria regulate cellular metabolism and maintain energy homeostasis via the electron transport chain, mediate stem cell fate, and modulate reactive oxygen species production, playing a pivotal role in energy supply and lifespan extension. However, mitochondrial dysfunction can lead to various pathological changes, including cellular aging, necrosis, dysregulated tumor immunity, and the initiation and progression of cancer.
