Аннотация

BACKGROUND: The treatment of LSAV consists mainly of topical corticosteroids, progesterone or testosterone. Often these approaches neither improve the clinical findings nor relieve the symptoms. We evaluated cryotherapy as a possible therapeutic option.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: Nine girls (age between 5 and 15 years, mean 9 years) and 22 women (age between 33 to 74 years, mean 54 years) with clinically and histologically confirmed LSAV were treated with cryotherapy.

RESULTS: All patients experienced improvement of their clinical signs and symptoms. Five patients had a second cycle of cryotherapy after an average of 10,6 months; 2 women were treated a third time.

CONCLUSIONS: Cryotherapy is an effective therapeutic option for LSAV. It has few side effects and seems to be an attractive alternative especially in children.
