Presentation
This article presents 2 cases of different neuropathic trigeminal pain conditions treated with intraoral botulinum toxin injections. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Resistant Hypertension
Celiac plexus block (CPB) is one of the main treatment options for patients resistant to conventional antihypertensive drugs. We present a case of resistant hypertension (RHTN) that was treated with CPB using botulinum toxin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] dose of 100 units per axilla in larger individuals recommended by some clinicians; 138 143 doses of up to 200 units per axilla have been used in a limited number of patients to achieve a prolonged response (e.g., up to 19 months). 159 170 296 298 314 Anhidrosis [drugs.com]
Eyes
- Diplopia
Four days after BTA injection, diplopia and esotropia developed on her right eye. KEYWORDS: Botulinum toxins; diplopia; esotropia; strabismus [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Conjunctival Injection
BACKGROUND: Short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT) syndrome is an unusual cause of headache, mainly described in older adults, and is rare in children. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment
Abstract Botulinum toxin (BoNT) injections into facial and bulbar muscles are widely and increasingly used as medical treatments for cervical and facial dystonia, facial hemispasm, correction of facial palsy, hyperhidrosis, as well as cosmetic treatment [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology
Sustained TMJ dislocation is not amenable to manual reduction alone when the etiology is muscular in nature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Several etiologic factors have been proposed in the literature; these include skeletal, gingival, and muscular factors that may occur alone or in combination.1,2 Although vertical maxillary dental and/ or skeletal excess3–5 or gingival problems from delayed [doi.org]

Epidemiology
Effective response to a deliberate release of botulinum toxin will depend on timely clinical diagnosis, case reporting, and epidemiological investigation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology
Background: Pharmacological management of cervical dystonia (CD) is considered to be symptomatic in effect, rather than targeting the underlying pathophysiology of the disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
We now know that peripherally delivered BoNTs are taken up in sensory afferents and transported to cleave SNARE proteins in the ganglion and TNC, prevent evoked afferent release and downstream activation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention Prevention of foodborne botulism is based on good practice in food preparation particularly during heating/sterilization and hygiene. [who.int]
