AbstractPURPOSE: To investigate outcome differences of intralesional triamcinolone acetonide (TA) injection for primary chalazia in children versus adults. METHODS: A retrospective review of consecutive subjects with primary chalazion who received intralesional TA injection was conducted. A single investigator injected 0.05-0.15 mL of TA (40 mg/mL) intralesionally. Patients were stratified into the pediatric (<18 years old) and adult (>/= 18 years old) group. In both groups, the correlation of resolution time with chalazion size and TA dose was performed. RESULTS: 17 children and 24 adults were enrolled, with a mean age of 7.4 +/- 5.5 and 39.3 +/- 16.7 years, respectively. Both groups had statistically similar baseline characteristics. There was no significant difference between the resolution time in the pediatric (18.2 +/- 11.4 days) and adult (16.5 +/- 11.0 days) group (P = 0.7). There were no significant complications from the TA injection. There was no significant correlation of resolution time to chalazion size (P = 0.7) nor TA dose (P = 0.3) in both groups. CONCLUSION: TA for the treatment of primary chalazion was equally effective in children and adults, without any significant complications, and the rate of clinical response did not appear to be dose-dependent.
