Project description:Upper lid retraction (ULR) is the most common and earliest symptom in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) patients. Surgical correction is effective for ULR in stable diseases. However, non-invasive treatment is also required for the TAO patient in active phase. Here, we reported a complex case with TAO and unilateral ULR simultaneously. The patient had a history of progressive ptosis in the left eyelid and underwent anterior levator aponeurotic-Muller muscle resection to correct the ptosis. However, the patient gradually developed bilateral proptosis and ULR, mainly in the left eyelid. The patient was finally diagnosed with TAO with left ULR. Then, the patient was treated with botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection in the left eyelid. The effect of BTX-A treatment started 7 days after injection, peaked at one month, and lasted for approximately 3 months. This study highlighted the therapeutic effect of BTX-A injection for the treatment of ULR-related TAO.

Project description:Introduction Botulinum toxin (Botox®) is considered an effective treatment for nocturnal bruxism when injected into the masseter muscle. Several studies have used different dosages of Botox for this purpose. The objective was to determine whether 10 MU of botulinum toxin type A (BTXA) injections into the masseter muscle could lessen nocturnal bruxism. Material and methods The sample consisted of 22 patients who suffered from pain in the masseter muscle and sensitivity of the teeth as a result of its wear due to nocturnal bruxism. The sample was randomly divided into two groups. The Botox (BO) group included 11 patients injected with 10 MU of BTXA, and the placebo (PL) group included 11 patients who received a sham intervention. Pain perception was assessed on visual analogue scales, whereas muscle activity was recorded by electromyography (EMG) to evaluate the effectiveness of this treatment protocol on nocturnal bruxism. Results A total of 20 patients entered data analysis with one dropout from each group. The differences in the perceived pain values between the BO and the PL groups before and after the injection were statistically significant (p<0.05). In the BO group, the changes in the perceived pain values over time were statistically significant (p<0.05). The pain levels significantly decreased at two weeks, one month, and three months following the injection. However, the levels increased again at the fourth- and sixth-month assessment times with statistically significant differences (p>0.05). The differences in the EMG recorded values were statistically significant between the two groups (p<0.05). Conclusions Within the current study's limitations, injecting 10 MU of BTXA into the masseter muscle reduced muscular activity in this muscle, resulting in decreased muscle spasms and pain symptoms associated with nocturnal bruxism for about three months before symptoms gradually relapsed.

Project description:PurposeTo investigate the efficacy of botulinum toxin injection without electromyographic guidance for the treatment of consecutive esotropia.MethodsA retrospective study was performed on 49 subjects with consecutive esotropia who received botulinum toxin injection in the medial rectus muscles without the use of electromyographic guidance. Treatment was considered successful if the final ocular alignment was orthotropic or esodeviation was ≤10 prism diopters (PD) during distant fixation.ResultsThe mean age was 15.2 ± 8.3 years. The mean esodeviation before injection was 21.8 ± 9.1 PD at distance and 21.3 ± 8.3 PD at near. The mean number of injections per patient was 1.3 ± 0.7, and 46 patients (93.9%) received two or fewer injections. At 6 months after the final injection, the mean angle of esodeviation was 7.3 ± 6.0 PD at distance and 7.5 ± 6.6 PD at near (all p<0.001), and 69.4% showed successful alignment. By multivariate analysis, an initial postoperative esodeviation of ≤18 PD at one month after exotropia surgery was considered to be a predictive factor for successful botulinum toxin injection (P = 0.007). Vertical deviation and/or ptosis occurred in 4 patients (8.2%) at two weeks after injection, which all resolved within three months. There was no recurrence of exotropia up to the final follow-up examination.ConclusionBotulinum toxin injection without electromyographic guidance is safe and effective in the treatment of consecutive esotropia without causing recurrent exotropia. Successful botulinum toxin injection is likely in patients with an initial postoperative esodeviation of 18PD or less at one month after exotropia surgery.

Project description:Dysphagia associated with upper esophageal sphincter (UES) dysfunction remarkably affects the quality of life of patients. UES injection of botulinum toxin is an effective treatment for dysphagia. In comparison with skeletal muscles of the limb and trunk, the UES is a special therapeutic target of botulinum toxin injection, owing to its several anatomical, physiological, and pathophysiological features. This review focuses on (1) the anatomy and function of the UES and the pathophysiology of UES dysfunction in dysphagia and why the entire UES rather than the cricopharyngeal muscle before/during botulinum toxin injection should be examined and targeted; (2) the therapeutic mechanisms of botulinum toxin for UES dysfunction, including the choice of injection sites, dose, and volume; (3) the strengths and weaknesses of guiding techniques, including electromyography, ultrasound, computed tomography, and balloon catheter dilation for botulinum toxin injection of the UES.

Project description:In cervical dystonia, functional MRI (fMRI) evidence indicates changes in several resting state networks, which revert in part following the botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT) therapy. Recently, the involvement of the cerebellum in dystonia has gained attention. The aim of our study was to compare connectivity between cerebellar subdivisions and the rest of the brain before and after BoNT treatment. Seventeen patients with cervical dystonia indicated for treatment with BoNT were enrolled (14 female, aged 50.2 ± 8.5 years, range 38-63 years). Clinical and fMRI examinations were carried out before and 4 weeks after BoNT injection. Clinical severity was evaluated using TWSTRS. Functional MRI data were acquired on a 1.5 T scanner during 8 min rest. Seed-based functional connectivity analysis was performed using data extracted from atlas-defined cerebellar areas in both datasets. Clinical scores demonstrated satisfactory BoNT effect. After treatment, connectivity decreased between the vermis lobule VIIIa and the left dorsal mesial frontal cortex. Positive correlations between the connectivity differences and the clinical improvement were detected for the right lobule VI, right crus II, vermis VIIIb and the right lobule IX. Our data provide evidence for modulation of cerebello-cortical connectivity resulting from successful treatment by botulinum neurotoxin.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of botulinum toxin (BoNT) in masseter muscle reduction depending on the amount of chin deviation. Exploring distinctive effects of BoNT relative to the characteristics of facial asymmetry will aid in planning and predicting treatment outcomes. Sixteen adult volunteers were classified into two groups according to the degree of menton deviation observed in posteroanterior cephalograms. Eight had a menton deviation of 3 mm or more and the other eight had less than 3 mm. A total of 25 Units of BoNT was injected into the unilateral masseter muscle of the prominent side for each participant. Changes in the volume and bulkiest height of the lower face on each side were measured with a 3D laser scan at four time points: before and 4, 8, and 12 weeks after the injection. Two-way mixed ANOVA was employed for analyses. The volume and bulkiest height of the injected side decreased over time in both types of asymmetry, with significant differences at each time point. The reductions in the volume and bulkiest height were significantly greater in subjects without chin deviation. The reductions in the volume and bulkiest height of the lower face using BoNT are more effective for subjects without chin deviation.

Project description:A total of 27 children with esotropia (mean age, 3.9 years; range, 9 months to 13.8 years) were enrolled in a 9-month observational study following botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) injection of one (n = 7) or both (n = 20) medial rectus muscles. BTX-A dosage ranged from 3.0 to 6.0 units per muscle. Three participants developed tonic pupil, noted at the first follow-up visit, occurring 12-19 days after injection. All 3 cases occurred in the left eye of participants who underwent bilateral BTX-A injection by the same surgeon. Anisocoria diminished from a maximum of 4 mm at the 2-week visit to 1-2 mm in all patients over the 9-month postinjection data collection period. No adverse visual outcomes were noted. Tonic pupil is an infrequently reported complication of BTX-A injection for strabismus. The experience of our investigator group suggests the need for careful injection technique and thorough preinjection counseling.
