 Purpose: To evaluate the effect of subconjunctival triamcinolone acetenoid injection on pterygium recurrence.
Patients and Methods: Forty eyes with recurrent pterygium were randomly selected from Ain-Shams university hospital out patient clinics. Thirty eyes were subjected to subconjunctival triamcinolone acetonide injection (20 mg in 0.5m1) one week after pterygium excision and the resultant 10 eyes were regarded as controls. Coniunctival redness, fibrovascular tissue growth, size of corneal invasion, corneal epithelial state and intraocular pressure were recorded on successive visits.
Results: Absence of true corneal recurrences in the follow-up period of 9.33+2.9 months.
Conclusion: Subconjunctival triamcinolone acetenoid injection may be regarded as one line of treatment in cases of recurrent pterygium.
