[Intra-lesional injection of betamethasone for the treatment of symptomatic pinguecula].

CLINICAL CASES The pinguecula is a degenerative lesion which is usually asymptomatic, except when it is associated with an inflammatory reaction. We present 2 clinical cases of patients that had symptomatic pinguecula, in which intra-lesional betamethasone in depot form was used as treatment, obtaining a significant clinical improvement. DISCUSSION The administration of intra-lesional betamethasone in depot form may be a good alternative for the treatment of the symptomatic pinguecula.
