Chalazia and hordeola are the most common lesions occurring in the human eyelid, and often recurrences are managed by surgical intervention to remove fatty inclusions within the lid with associated inflammatory reaction. The present invention provides non-surgical methods of treating chalazia, hordeola and cutaneous infections comprising the administration of compositions comprising botulinum toxin. The present invention provides methods that effectively block meibum secretion from the meibomian glands, reduce sebaceous bacterial culture media on skin, and sebaceous secretion from the glands of Zeis. Decreased production of meibum and associated fatty substances resulting from the methods of the present invention, decrease gland blockage and tissue inspissations, resulting in reduced recurrence of chalazia, hordeola and related inflammatory reactions and lesions.
Les kystes de Meibomius et les orgelets sont les lésions les plus communes de la paupière humaine. Leur récurrence fréquente est traitée par des interventions chirurgicales destinées à éliminer les inclusions graisseuses dans la paupière et la réaction inflammatoire associée. L'invention concerne des procédés non-chirurgicaux de traitement des kystes de Meibomius, des orgelets et des infections cutanées par l'administration de compositions qui contiennent la toxine botulique. L'invention concerne des procédés qui inhibent efficacement la sécrétion des glandes de Meibomius, réduisent les milieux sébacés de culture de bactéries sur la peau et les sécrétions sébaceuses des glandes de Zeis. La production réduite des sécrétions des glandes de Meimobius et des substances grasses associées, qui résulte des procédés selon l'invention, réduit le blocage des glandes et l'inspissation des tissus, ce qui mène à une récurrence réduite des kystes de Meibomius, des orgelets et des réactions et lésions inflammatoires associées.
