Abstract
Two cases of perilymphatic atrophy following correctly administered intralesional steroid injections are reported. Perilymphatic atrophy produces a distinct clinical picture and may persist for months. A review of the literature shows that no treatment is indicated. It is stressed that the appearance of this cosmetically disturbing side effect is unpredictable, but spontaneously reversible.Keywords
