[Treatment of ulcus simplex of the bladder and ulcerating radiogenic cystitis with superoxide dismutase].
Treatment of ulcus simplex vesicae and post irradiation ulcer of the bladder with superoxide dismutase (SOD) is reported. Its antiinflammatory effect depends on the elimination of cytotoxic superoxide radicals from tissue. SOD is injected into the bladderwall during general anesthesia using a transurethral access. We treated 8 women, 4 of them suffering from ulcus simplex vesicae and 4 of them suffering from post irradiation ulcer of the bladder. In most cases we saw prompt relief from subjective complaints and healing of the ulceration. When necessary the injection was repeated once or twice in a fortnight. We did not see any side effects.
