    PubMed
    Summary

    Intralesional corticosteroid injection, specifically triamcinolone acetonide, offers an effective and safe treatment for chalazion. This minimally invasive approach shows high success rates, particularly for non-infected cases, making it suitable for various patient groups.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Dermatology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Chalazion is a common eyelid condition.
    • Current treatments include observation, corticosteroid injections, and surgical excision.
    • Non-infected chalazia are often treated with intralesional injections.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intralesional corticosteroid (triamcinolone acetonide) injection for chalazion treatment.
    • To determine the success rate and optimal conditions for this therapeutic approach.

    Main Methods:

    • Intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide into chalazion lesions.
    • Assessment of treatment outcomes, including recovery rates and recurrence.
    • Analysis of factors influencing treatment success, such as infection status.

    Main Results:

    • An 88% perfect recovery rate was observed in 24 chalazion cases (22 patients).
    • Most patients achieved resolution with a single injection.
    • Treatment was most effective for non-infected chalazia, with potential for near 100% success in such cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Intralesional corticosteroid injection is an effective, easy, and safe method for treating chalazion.
    • The procedure is particularly beneficial for children, patients with local anesthetic allergies, and chalazia near the lacrimal punctum.
    • Surgery remains the preferred option for secondarily infected chalazia.
