Intralesional corticosteroid injection for the treatment of chalazia.

Abstract
Twenty chalazia were treated with intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injections. The diameter of 9 of the chalazia was less than 6 mm. Eight of them were cured after a single injection and 1 after 2 injections. The diameter of 11 of the chalazia was greater than or equal to 6 mm. Four cases responded to 1 injection and 5 to 2 injections. Two were operated on. Six patients had a recurrence 3-6 months later and were operated on. Corticosteroid injection is a serviceable alternative to surgery in the treatment of small chalazia. The indications are discussed.
