  • Title: Treatment of blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm and strabismus with botulinum a toxin.
    Author: Dai Z, Wang YC.
    Journal: Chin Med J (Engl); 1992 Jun; 105(6):476-80. PubMed ID: 1451548.
    Abstract:
    Thirty patients with blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm, strabismus and entropion were treated with botulinum A toxin giving satisfactory results. Rapid spasm relief, correction of strabismus and entropion were obtained. Only mild, transient and local side-effects occurred. The patients were followed up for 4-12 weeks with no recurrence. The clinical results show that local injection of a minute dose of botulinum A toxin in treating blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm, strabismus and entropion is a safe, effective and simple method of nonsurgical therapy.
