Abstract
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.
