AbstractBackground and objectivesBotulinum toxin injection has been used for many years for various indications such as cervical dystonia, blepharospasm, oromandibular dystonia, hemifacial spasm in neurology. Botulinum toxin injections have been made in our clinic for about ten years. We want to report our experiences about botulinum toxin treatment in neurologic disease.MethodsIn this study, the data of the patients receiving BoNT injection between January 2018 and December 2019 was retrospectively analyzed. Age, gender, botulinum toxin indications, and mean dose, duration of efficacy, side effects noted for each injection were recorded.ResultsThere were 122 patients who received botulinum toxin injections between January 2018 and December 2019. Of the 122 patients identified, 28 had cervical dystonia, 61 had HFS, 21 had blepharospasm, 4 had generalized dystonia, 1 had hemidystonia following thalamic bleeding, 1 had tardive dystonia, 4 had migraine, 1 had bruxism and 1 had both migraine and bruxism.ConclusionBoNT injection is a treatment that has been used for various indications in neurology for almost 40 years. Side effects are limited and temporary with appropriate injections. We also had a wide range of indication profiles and high numbers of patients to whom we administered the BoNT treatment.

<p>Botulinum toxin blocks the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and helps to treat wrinkles. The efficacy and safety of botulinum toxin injection for upper facial wrinkles were established in several previous studies. Common side effects include transient headache, bruising, eyebrow ptosis and eyelid swelling. No adverse life threatening events or long-term complications have been reported. However, there have been a few reports on site-specific side effects, except for eyebrow ptosis or eyelid swelling. Two previous cases showing exaggerated glabellar wrinkles after botulinum toxin injection for forehead horizontal lines reported that no specific treatment for the exaggeration of wrinkles were done and it was left to slowly recede. In the present report, we highlighted a patient, whose significant glabellar protrusion was rapidly and effectively corrected with the use of botulinum toxin injection.</p>

Botulinum Toxin Injections

Hereditary geniospasm is a rare and benign disorder that can cause distress and social embarrassment to patients. There are only a handful of possible treatment options available. Due to the rarity of the condition, practices differ across the world and the results are varied. These include beta-blockers, benzodiazepines and anti-epileptics. These treatments can have significant side-effects when used long term. However, botulinum toxin injections have been successfully used in a handful of cases. We report a successful botulinum treatment of hereditary geniospasm in a mother and son, with the injection protocols.

Surgical Treatments

Severe drooling is associated with discomfort and psychosocial problems and may constitute a health risk. A variety of different surgical and non-surgical treatments have been used to diminish drooling, some of them with little or uncertain effect and others more effective but irreversible or with side effects. Based on clinical evidence, injection with botulinum toxin (BTX) into the parotid and submandibular glands is a useful treatment option, because it is local, reversible, and with few side effects, although it has to be repeated. The mechanism of BTX is a local inhibition of acetylcholine release, which diminishes receptor-coupled secretion and results in a flow rate reduction of 25–50% for 2–7 months.

Persistent Diplopia in Visually Mature Patients. Is it Intractable or something else? A Review and Case Series

Diplopia is described as being intractable when there is inability to both fuse the two images and suppress the second image. Intractable diplopia persists despite achieving ocular alignment using either prisms, lenses,vision therapy,extraocular muscle surgery, or botulinum toxin injection. Treatment usually resorts to occluding or fogging the patient’s nondominant eye. Often times, however, adults having other causative mechanisms for supposedly persistent diplopia are able to achieve comfortable single vision with treatment that either establishes fusion or reactivates a preexisting sensory adaptation. This case series reviews these other causes of diplopia.
