Treatment, by local depot methylprednisolone injection, of severe anal pain in Crohn's disease not associated with overt sepsis is reported. It has given dramatic relief in 5 patients, but has not been successful in 2 patients where anal disease was in continuity with severe rectal involvement. Treatment has been effective for greater than 1 yr, and no complication of the technique has been found on regular follow-up. When compared with previous attempts at treatment, the beneficial results attained with methylprednisolone injection suggest that the effect is more than a placebo response. Careful patient selection to exclude overt sepsis or severe rectal disease is recommended before proceeding to steroid injection.
