Abstract

Study design is randomized control trial
purpose of the study is to compare treatment outcomes of intralesional triamcinolone acetonide (TA) injection with incision and curettage (I&C) for primary chalazion.
Method – 60 patients with chalazion were taken out of which 2 groups were made with 1 group treated with intralesional triamcinolone acetate and the other group underwent incision and curettage. the groups were divided on the basis of the size of chalazion and the patients were followed up.
Result – in the study we found out that the lesion less than 4 mm respond well to Triamcinolone acetate than with incision and curettage while lesions which are more than 4 mm have better outcome with incision and curettage.
conclusion – The study proved that the intralesional triamcinolone is an effective treatment of Chalazion. The intralesional TA is found to be effective among patient with size less than 4 mm whereas with size more than 6 mm incision and curettage had better results.
