title: Corticosteroids in otolaryngology: intraturbinal injection.
abstract: Intranasal corticosteroid injection is not a panacea and in the usual sense never effects a "cure." However, it does effectively, rapidly, and for a prolonged period alleviate distressing symptoms that are common in rhinologic practice. It is a procedure that demands attention to patient selection for its proper use, and careful technique for its safe use. When properly employed, intranasal corticosteroid injection can be one of the most effective clinical tools available to the rhinologist today.
