[Injection of botulinum toxin into the oculomotor muscles in disorders of ocular motility].

Abstract

Injections of botulinum toxin into the oculomotor muscles was used in incorrectible diplopia, ocular torticollis, Duane's syndrome and congenital nystagmus. Favourable results were obtained and the sole complications which could be observed were a transitory ptosis and subconjunctival haemorrhages. Frequently 2 to 3 injections were sufficient for a permanent effect.
