TitelChalazion therapy:intralesional steroids versus incision and curettage in African black patients
Abstract Nr.P008
DoelTo compare two methods of chalazion treatment in African black patients, namely intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injection and incision and curettage.
MethodesFifty African black patients with chalazions were randomly divided in two groups. The first group (25 patients, 29 chalazions) received intralesional triamcinolone acetonide 5 mg/ml injection; the second group (25 patients, 33 chalazions) was treated by simple incision and curettage.
ResultatenIncision and curettage showed a higher success rate (100%) compared to the intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injection group (76%). In 44% of cases, two intralesionnal injections were necessary to obtain those results in the first group. Recurrence rate was 17% in the first group and 7% in the second group. During a mean of five months of follow-up, no post-injection ocular complication occurred in the first group while fistula was noted in the second group.
ConclusieIntralesional corticosteroid injection and incision and curettage appear to be effective in managing chalazion in black African patients as reported in previous studies in Caucasian and Asian patients.
