Abstract

Corticosteroid injections have been shown to be an effective treatment modality in many of the musculoskeletal and rheumatologic conditions. Yet, the potential adverse effects of corticosteroid injections have not been given much attention. One of the potential adverse effects that should be considered by clinicians is skin hypopigmentation and subcutaneous fat atrophy. Although it is a rare side effect, it may have cosmetically unpleasant effect. The aim of this case report is to highlight the importance of providing adequate information to the patients regarding these dermal adverse effects of corticosteroid injections. We report the case of a 31-year-old female who suffered from skin hypopigmentation and subcutaneous fat atrophy after triamcinolone injection given for de Quervain’s tenosynovitis.

皮质类固醇注射引起的色素沉着减退和皮下脂肪萎缩1例

皮质类固醇注射已被证明是一种有效的治疗方式在许多肌肉骨骼和风湿病条件。然而，皮质类固醇注射的潜在不良影响尚未得到重视。临床医生应该考虑的潜在不良反应之一是皮肤色素沉着和皮下脂肪萎缩。虽然这是一种罕见的副作用，但它可能会产生不愉快的美容效果。本病例报告的目的是强调向患者提供有关皮质类固醇注射对皮肤不良反应的充分信息的重要性。我们报告一例31岁的女性，在注射曲安奈德治疗de Quervain的腱鞘炎后出现皮肤色素沉着和皮下脂肪萎缩。关键词:德奎尔凡氏腱鞘炎;脂肪萎缩;Hypopigmentation;皮质类固醇注射;不利影响;引用本文:Prihatsari F, Hidayati HB, Damayanti D, Budisulistyo T.皮质类固醇注射相关的色素沉着和皮下脂肪萎缩1例报告。Anaesth。疼痛重症监护2021;25(6):807-811;DOI: 10.35975 / apic.v25i6.1708
