Local Steroid Injection

This preliminary report discusses the effects of intralesion local steroid injection for treatment of contact granulomas. Four men between the ages of 39 and 59 years and one woman age 33 years, who were diagnosed with contact granulomas and who failed previous management attempts, are discussed. Intralesion steroid injections of triamcinolone were completed in an otolaryngology outpatient clinic. Results showed that the size of contact granulomas was reduced with injection of the steroid in all five patients. Contact granuloma was completely eliminated in one patient. Furthermore, all patients were clinically asymptomatic 3 to 4 months post-injection, although only two of the five granulomas were totally eliminated at the time of long-term follow-up. Clinical improvement was confirmed by direct laryngoscopic evaluation of contact granuloma size 4 months following completion of the steroid injections. A speech-language pathologist's knowledge of this technique may prevent patients with granuloma from enduring protracted voice treatment that is historically less effective. The speech-language pathologist's responsibilities include determining patient candidacy for intralesion steroid injection, assisting the otolaryngologist with endoscopic interpretation of the lesion pre- and post-intervention, and tracking the clinical outcome of the procedure.

✓ The authors describe long-term follow-up results (4 to 6 years) in 13 patients who underwent differential sacral rhizotomy for urgency incontinence. Six patients were originally presented in a preliminary report in 1973. In the last seven patients, a highly selective rhizotomy of sacral fascicles innervating only the urinary bladder was performed. Results in the original six patients appear to be superior to those in patients who underwent a more refined rhizotomy. Possible explanations for this as well as alternative approaches to the treatment of urgency incontinence are briefly discussed.
