Botulinum toxin treatment of supranuclear ocular motility disorders.

Abstract	We treated one patient with bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia and another with skew deviation with extraocular muscle botulinum toxin injection. Both patients had pre-injection symptomatic diplopia in primary position, one for 1 month and the other for 12 months. Resolution of diplopia and complete and permanent binocular fusion in primary position was obtained within 3 to 4 days in both cases.
