摘要
Ten children have been treated with intralesional injection of triamcinolone diacetate into esophageal strictures. Five have responded well, and one result remains undetermined at present. Four patients are considered failures-3 due to long strictures and one with failure to improve significantly after four injections. No systemic effect of this dose of steroid has been observed, and only one complication has resulted. The apparent good result in the short strictures warrants continued clinical trials of this form of treatment. The treatment of strictures longer than 1.5 cm. by intralesional steroid injection is not recommended. © 1970.
