title: The treatment of resistant mosaic plantar warts with aggressive cryotherapy under general anaesthetic.
abstract: Twelve patients with treatment-resistant mosaic plantar warts were treated with aggressive cryotherapy under a general anaesthetic. Seven patients (58%) had complete cure, two patients (16%) experienced substantial but incomplete clearing of their warts and the remaining three patients (25%) had no improvement. The procedure was well tolerated and post cryotherapy pain was acceptable to the patients.
