## Abstract Botulinum toxin injections ameliorate dystonic symptoms by blocking the neuromuscular junction and weakening dystonic contractions. We asked if botulinum toxin injections in dystonia patients might also affect the integrity of sensorimotor cortical plasticity, one of the key pathophysio

## Abstract We report a unique case of laryngeal dystonia in a 43βyearβold male with neurosyphilis who underwent successful treatment with botulinum toxin injection. To date there have been no reports of laryngeal dystonia associated with neurosyphilis. The patient initially presented with strained
## Abstract Botulinum toxin type A (btx A) injections are the most effective treatment for most patients with focal dystonia. Some patients who improve after btx A injections and later lose response have serologic evidence of antibodies to btx A with the mouse neutralization assay (seropositive pat
## Abstract Fifteen patients with torticollis who had been treated with repeated injections of botulinum toxin type A (botox A) developed antibodies to the toxin. This resulted in loss of benefit in the 13 patients who had improved with botox A injections and failure to develop muscle atrophy after
## Abstract Intramuscular injection of botulinum toxin type A is the treatment of choice for most cases of oromandibular dystonia. We report on five patients with oromandibular dystonia that developed secondary nonresponsiveness to botulinum toxin type A following multiple injections over a 6βyear
