title: Management of Brown syndrome.
abstract: Brown syndrome is a challenging management problem. Congenital Brown syndrome may show spontaneous resolution, and conservative management is successful in around 75% of cases. Inflammatory acquired Brown syndrome may respond to peri-trochlear injection of steroids or oral non-steroidal inflammatory agents. Post-traumatic acquired Brown syndrome is not as common as it was in the "pre-seat belt" era. Surgical management can be undertaken, but results are disappointing.
