| Summary: |
Purpose: To
evaluate the results of treatment of nerve VI palsy with
botulinum toxin A.
Material and methods: 15 patients were treated
for n. VI palsy with intramuscular injections of
botulinum toxin A.
Results: The biggest reduction of the squint
angle was obtained in patients with acquired nerve VI
palsy except in postneurosurgical patients. Worse
results were achieved in patients with congenital
etiology of disease as well. The squint angle returned
to its initial value in 6 months. However, the
short-term effect achieved may improve the comfort of
the patient’s life and be useful in preparing the right
conditions for future surgery.
Conclusions: Botulinum toxin A may be useful in
the treatment of certain types of n. VI palsy. |
