ABSTRACT
Steroid injections have long been the main stay of conservative treatment of trigger digits. This procedure gives variable results, which is dependent on a number of factors. The injection of the steroid in the right place improves the success rate and also prevents complications associated with the procedure. We describe a technique using ultrasound for accurate injection of steroid to maximise its beneficial effects in treatment of trigger digits.

BACKGROUND: Inflammatory fibroid polyp of the oesophagus is an uncommon lesion and very rarely it grows rapidly. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a patient with a rapidly growing inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) of the oesophagus, which showed up within five months after a normal endoscopy. CONCLUSION: The treatment of IFP is by surgical excision, either open or endoscopic. Laser or other form of ablative treatment like thermo cautery can also be tried.
