A Long-Term Follow-Up of the Effect of Repeated Corticosteroid Injections for Stenosing Tenovaginitis

Ninety-three consecutive adult patients with stenosing tenovaginitis of 104 digits have been treated by corticosteroid injections repeated at three week intervals up to thrice in partial responders. At follow-up after 3–15 years, partial relapse had occurred in two patients, who now and then experienced triggering but without pain or locking. Complete relief of symptoms was obtained in 76%. There were no complications and the success rate was independent of sex, age, duration of symptoms, the digit involved, or associated diseases. These results are superior to those previously reported following a single injection.

Long Term Follow Up

AbstractFifty-nine type 1 tympanoplasties in children under 14 years of age were assessed by recall to a special follow-up clinic up to 15 years post-operatively. Overall 78 per cent of tympanic membranes were found to be intact with a late failure of grafts noted in 6 per cent of cases. An improvement in the audiological threshold was found in 51 per cent, 24 per cent were unchanged, the remaining 25 per cent suffered a deterioration which was seen both immediately post-operatively and thereafter until reviewed in the special clinic. The age at operation, size of the perforation, grade of surgeon carrying out the operation and prior adenoidectomy had no statistically significant influence on the success rate or the audiologicaloutcome. Revision procedures achieved similar graft take rates to the initial procedures but fared worse audiologically. We conclude that in the majority the operation was successful but hearing gain was not as good as expected and subject to late deterioration. A long term follow-up is important to detect this and other complications.

Long Term Follow Up

A long-term follow-up study of 26 children with anaphylactoid purpura (Schönlein-Henoch Syndrome) is presented. The average length of follow-up was 4½ years. Of these 26 children, 10 were found to have an apparent latent nephritis characterized by hematuria and cylinduria, but without marked proteinuria. Nine of the ten children were over the age of 6 years at the time of onset of purpura; 6 had proteinuria or hematuria during the acute phase of the disease. It is suggested that this renal sequela of anaphylactoid purpura may constitute one of the origins of chronic renal disease "of unknown etoiology" which occurs in adult patients.

Intractable Epistaxis

A total of 57 endovascular embolisation procedures were performed for intractable epistaxis in 51 patients over a 4-year period at the Unitas Interventional Unit near Pretoria. Long-term follow-up was possible in 36 patients. Three cases were due to trauma and 2 directly related to previous facial surgery, 1 patient had hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), and the remaining 45 cases (88.2%) were classed as idiopathic. Eight patients (15.7%) had a rebleed between 1 and 33 days after the initial embolisation. Four were re-embolised once, 1 was re-embolised twice (the HHT patient), and 2 underwent additional ethmoid artery ligation (with no further bleeding). This gives a primary short-term success rate (in all 51 cases) of 86.3% and a secondary assisted success rate of 94.1% for embolisation alone. Long-term follow- up was obtained in 36 patients, with 35 (97.2%) reporting no further bleeding after the initial procedure(s). Only the patient with HHT developed multiple recurrent bleeds. The mortality rate was 0%, the major morbidity rate 2% (1 stroke), and the minor morbidity rate 25% (N = 36), which included transient facial pain, headaches and femoral problems related to access. Our results compare favourably with other published series. In conclusion, endovascular embolisation for intractable epistaxis is available locally as an alternative technique for the treatment
