Objectives: This study aimed to compare the short-term result of local corticosteroid injections in the treatment of idiopathic trigger finger between previously reported proper amount of soluble and insoluble steroids; dexamethasone sodium phosphate and triamcinolone acetonide, and also aimed to compare these results with that of the patients who did not undergo the corticosteroid injection as...

A case of bullous pemphigoid with extra-oral and intraoral lesions in a 60-year-old female is reported. Diagnosis is based on histopathology and direct immunofluorescence, and the treatment regime described included oral prescription of prednisolone and topical application of a mixture of fluocinonide ointment and triamcinolone acetonide in Orabase on the oral lesions.

Few therapeutic alternatives to prednisone are available for severe, corticosteroid-resistant asthma. Injectable triamcinolone acetonide (TA) has been used in this type of asthma, although its use is controversial. TA shows considerable efficacy when compared with prednisone according to nearly all studies, although the majority do not provide a high level of evidence. The use of TA has been qu...

We have performed a prospective double-blind, randomised controlled trial over two years to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an intra-operative peri-articular injection of triamcinolone acetonide in patients undergoing medial unicondylar knee replacement. We randomised 90 patients into two equal groups. The study group received an injection of triamcinolone acetonide, bupivacaine, and epinep...

Cutaneous changes after local corticosteroid administration may include dermal atrophy, hyperpigmentation, alopecia, and hypopigmentation. Linear hypopigmentation and atrophy after intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide has been reported in the literature as a very rare side effect. A 30-year-old woman visited our dermatology department for a linear hypopigmented patch with atrophy ...
