| Abstract [eng] |
Objective. To evaluate our first experience with 1% methylene blue injection into perianal skin for idiopathic pruritus ani. Patients and methods. Over a period of 11 months (September 2004 to August 2005), a total of six patients (4 women and 2 men, age range 29 to 64 years, mean 50 years) were treated with 1% methylene blue injection into perianal skin for idiopathic pruritus ani. One procedure was made on an outpatient setting, the rest five were performed during in-hospital stay. The average hospital stay was 2.6 days (range 1 to 5 days). Symptoms had been present 6 months to 4 years prior to our treatment. Results. There were no complications, all patients were symptom-free at 12 weeks after the procedure. Edema of the perianal region was present on an average for 8 weeks, and numbness in the perianal skin was present for 3–4 weeks. Conclusion. 1% methylene blue injection into perianal skin in our experience was a safe and effective method for the treatment of idiopathic pruritus ani. |
