Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical effects of the mixture of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and triamcinolone acetonide on capillary hemangioma of eyelid.
METHODS:One hundred and one patients with capillary hemangioma of eyelid were divided into Group A and Group B: Group A was injected with triamcinolone acetonide, and Group B was injected the mixture of 5-FU and triamcinolone acetonide.
RESULTS:The cure rate was 68.3%, the total effective rate was 76.0%, and the average course of treatment was (8.1+/-3.4) months for Group A; the cure rate was 90.0%, the total effective rate was 96.6%, and the average course of treatment was (5.1+/-2.3) months for Group B. The therapeutic effect in Group B was better than that in Group A (P<0.05). The treatment period in Group B was shorter than that in Group A (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION:5-FU combining with triamcinolone acetonide has not only a better therapeutic effect, but also a shorter period of treatment.
