| Abstract |
|
Chronic inflammation of the meibonliarl glands (chalazia) frequently become troublesome because of recurrences, cosmetic blemish and distortion of vision when it is large enough. Medical treatment with hot compress, topically administered antibiotics and corncosteroids often fail to cure, so leads to chalazia with trial intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide. Ten chalazia reso1ved within one week after only one injection, two chalazia after two injections, one chalazion after three injections and one lesion failed to respond to three injections which was removed by surgery. We observed that intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide for chalaza is a good procedure, which appear to be a safe, convinient and effective alternative to chalazion surgery. |
