Eye Symptoms

Background: Chalazion is a common eyelid disease caused by plugged meibomian glands and chronic lipogranulomatous inflammation. It can affect individuals of all ages and may cause local eye symptoms such as irritation and inflammation and cosmetic disfigurement. There are mainly three methods of treating chalazion: Intralesional Triamcinolone Acetonide (0.1-0.3 ml of 40mg/ml), Incision and Curettage and Conservative Treatment (hot compression +lid hygiene + antibiotic ointment) to the affected eyelid. To comparing which method is the best this study has been carried out Methodology: Patients with chalazion presenting to OPD from 15 March to 15 July 2017 were included in the study. They underwent any of the three procedures according to their choice. Follow up visit was done at two weeks to determine effectiveness in terms of reduction of size or complete resolution of the chalazion. Results: Out of 112 patients enrolled in study 65(58%) were females and 47(42%) were male with a male: female ratio of (0.7:1). The mean age of involvement was 25.7years (SD 10.3). At 2 weeks follow up there was complete resolution in incision and curettage (I and C) group 77 %( 41/53) and in Triamcinolone Acetonide (TA) injection group 63 %( 20/32). Pearsons correlations showed that I and C were superior to any other forms of intervention for any size of chalazion followed by intralesional injection of TA. Conclusion: Among the three methods, Incision and Curettage remained the best choice for treatment of chalazion followed by triamcinolone acetonide injection but may need multiple injections.

Group B

Background: Keloids are benign proliferative condition of dermal broblast. Intralesional corticosteroid improves keloid but associated with signicant adverse effects like dyspigmentation, tissue atrophy and telengectasia and contraindicated in certain conditions like hypertension and diabetes. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), a pyrimidine analogue with an inhibitory effect on TGF-β induced broblast proliferation is useful in treatment of keloids but is associated with ulceration and pain. A low dose of Triamcinolone if added to 5-FU injection overcomes these issues. Approach: This study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital. Sixty patients; thirty in each group were included. In group A, once weekly intralesional Triamcinolone and in group B, intralesional injection of Triamcinolone mixed with 5-Flurouracil in 1: 9 dilution were injected for 8 sessions. Parameters of Vancouver scale were noted at the baseline and at the end of treatment. Results: Out of 60 patients enrolled in this study. The combination group was better in improving height (62.11% vs 78%), pliability (44.14% vs 8.81%), and vascularity (55.78% vs 61.30%) and results were statistically signicant (P valve <0.05) however it was not better in improving pigmentation (43.47% vs 20%) and volume (69.79% vs 80.76%) (P valve > 0.05). Pain and pruritus improved completely (100%) in both the groups at the end of the treatment. Excellent improvement in patient and observer assessment score was seen in 96.67% vs 3.33% in combination group and TAC group respectively. The difference was statistically signicant (P valve<0.05). Combination was better irrespective of age of the patient, duration, site, and origin of keloid. All patients treated with 5 FU develop ulceration and pain. Conclusion: Both the therapies are effective but combination is superior to TAC alone. We advocate that 5-FU should be used alone, addition of TCA does not have any added advantage in therapeutic outcome rather it increases the cost of treatment.
