Botulinum toxin treatment of hemifacial spasm

Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry
J S Elston

Abstract

Six patients with hemifacial spasm were treated with injections of botulinum toxin A into the orbicularis oculi; the abnormal movements around the eye were relieved for an average of 15 weeks. There were no systemic or significant local side effects, and in view of the risks involved in neurosurgical treatment, a trial of botulinum toxin injections is recommended in the first instance in this condition.
