Two female infants with eyelid hemangiomas developed prickly, rock-hard, subcutaneous crystals following intralesional corticosteroid injections. In each case, the crystals were isocentered on the injection locus and partly eroded the skin, causing local discomfort and inflammation. This complication occurred after two treatment sessions and presented 8 to 9 months after the second injection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
