Case Study of Patients Using Injectable Trancinolone Acetonide with Neurological Complications

Aim: Through the analysis of two cases of serious neurological complications after triamcinolone acetonide use, this case study warns that the risk of serious neurological complications should be paid attention to when triamcinolone acetonide is used clinically. Presentation of Case: In this paper, we reported two cases of severe neurological complications caused by triamcinolone acetonide. One case was severe hearing loss on the same side after triamcinolone acetonide was injected around the ear to treat scars. After 2 months of treatment, the patient's nausea, vomiting and vertigo improved, but the hearing damage did not improve. The other case was severe complications of lower limb paralysis after triamcinolone acetonide was injected into the spinal canal. Two hours after the injection of the drug, the patient developed paraplegia of both lower limbs. After three months of treatment, it still did not improve. Discussion and Conclusion: Triamcinolone acetonide is a suspension, insoluble in water, with a large number of particles gathering, and the largest particle is greater than 500μm. It has been reported that the medium-sized particles of adrenocortical hormone with a diameter of 51-1000μm can easily block the blood vessels, especially the anterior spinal artery. In clinical practice, we should pay attention to the disastrous neurological complications caused by triamcinolone acetonide hydrochloride, and take relevant preventive and coping measures.
