چکیده
Repeated intrathecal application of the sustained release steroid Triamcinolone Acetonide (TCA) is beneficial in progressive Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients [1]. Particularly, with spinal lesions often show a distinct benefit three fold increase maximum walking distance [2]. This therapy ameliorates distance, improves upper limb function and reduces spastic symptoms The putative regenerative effect may result from declined synthesis repulsive guidance molecule A [3]. Visualization air bubbles after TCA injection prompted this case report.

OBJECTIVE The purification of commercially prepared triamcinolone acetonide is important in order to avoid the potential toxic side-effects of the solvent benzyl alcohol. We present a new technique for preparation of pure triamcinolone acetonide by dissolving the powder in sterile distilled water with no additional solvents. As the triamcinolone powder is relatively insoluble in water, we descr...
