COVID-19 has been associated with acral ischemia and digital necrosis. Standard treatment of acral ischemia and digital or acral necrosis includes ongoing therapy with vasodilators and anticoagulants. However, these treatments are not always efficient to avoid the progression of necroses, which in the worst case can lead to amputation. Here, we report a case in which interdigital Botox<sup>®</sup> (botulinum toxin type A) nerve cord injection stopped the progression of acral necroses arising from an underlying vasculopathy due to COVID-19. Moreover, Botox<sup>®</sup> injection eliminated inflammation in the affected acral area within 2 weeks. This is the first case report to suggest Botox<sup>®</sup> injection as a new and improving treatment for acral necroses due to COVID-19.

Parotid gland fistula after microtia reconstruction is relatively rare, with only 3 cases having been reported in the literature. It may be caused by the presence of an accessory parotid gland or surgical damage to parotid gland tissues. The principal treatment is dressing the wound. Here, we report the first case of parotid fistula after microtia reconstruction using a delayed retroauricular flap, which healed following wound dressing and an injection of botulinum toxin type A (CBTXA) into the parotid gland.
