OBJECTIVE
Cluster headache is one of the most serious types of headache that is accompanied by autonomic parasympathetic symptoms. Its association with hemifacial spasm in the same side had been rarely reported. The aim of this report is describing a case with this association and treatment
The diagnosis of blepharospasm is rarely considered in patients complaining of face pain or headache. This patient illustrates the importance of looking for blepharospasm in patients who present with headache or face pain, as her pain and blepharospasm were successfully treated with botulinum toxin
This article is presented as a companion to the American Academy of Neurology guideline update on the use of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) for the treatment of blepharospasm, cervical dystonia, adult spasticity, and headache. Whereas the guideline update provides clarity on the efficacy of different
BACKGROUND
Recent scientific data support an effect of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) on pain and headache.
OBJECTIVE
We sought to conduct a systematic review of BoNT in the secondary headaches and cranial neuralgias.
METHODS
MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, ClinicalTrials.gov and reference lists were
Botulinum toxin type A, a neurotoxin, is effective for treating a variety of disorders of involuntary muscle contraction including cervical dystonia, blepharospasm, and hemifacial spasm. It inhibits neuromuscular signaling by blocking the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. The
Botulinum toxin A (BoNT/A), a neurotoxin, is effective for treating a variety of disorders of involuntary muscle contraction, including cervical dystonia, blepharospasm and hemifacial spasm. It inhibits neurouscular signaling by blocking the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction.
Gangliogliomas of the lateral ventricle are unusual tumours of the central nervous system. We report a 25-year-old female who presented with a 4-week history of generalized headaches associated with left-sided blepharospasm. Clinical examination revealed bilateral papilloedema but no focal
OBJECTIVE
This article describes a novel surgical procedure, myo-osseous fixation, as an adjunct therapy for patients with reduced or poor response to repeated botulinum toxin injections for essential blepharospasm and Meige syndrome.
METHODS
The small-incision, rapidly healing, rapidly performed
BACKGROUND
Skull base cholesterol granulomas (SBCGs) are rare lesions that have traditionally been managed via middle fossa or transtemporal approaches. Despite the relative paucity in the literature, the endoscopic endonasal approach may serve as a potential alternative surgical route. In this
The use of botulinum toxin has expanded in the last five years to include traditional neurological use against dystonia and spasticity, as well as the emerging use for headache, pain, neuropathy, myofascial pain, joint arthritis, otolaryngology, gastroenterology and genitourinary disorders. This
OBJECTIVE
We hypothesized that patients with benign essential blepharospasm and hemifacial spasm experience relief of headache and eye pain after botulinum toxin injections.
METHODS
A retrospective chart review of 85 patients who had received botulinum toxin injections at the University of Minnesota
Purpose of review: Eye pain is one of the most common presenting symptoms in ophthalmology. It can range from bothersome to debilitating for patients, and it can be vexing for clinicians, especially in the white and quiet eye. The purpose

Botulinum toxin (BoNT) is a neurotoxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum that has become widely used for various neurologic indications. The four toxin formulations currently available for use in the United States (approved by the Food and Drug Administration) are onabotulinumtoxinA
