  • Title: Use of botulinum toxin to treat blepharospasm in a 16-year-old with a dystonic syndrome.
    Author: Seiff SR, Freeman LN, Bluestone DL, Berg BO.
    Journal: Pediatr Neurol; 1989; 5(2):121-3. PubMed ID: 2712945.
    Abstract:
    A 16-year-old boy with generalized dystonia had continuous, severe blepharospasm and facial grimacing. Local intradermal injections of botulinum A toxin greatly reduced the spasms and improved function. No side effects were observed. Local botulinum A toxin injections may be useful in the treatment of eyelid and facial spasms in patients with generalized dystonias.
