✦ Synopsis

In 2 patients with neuromyotonia, nerve blocks had no effect on the abnormal activity, while intramuscular injection of the botulinum toxin abolished the discharges in one and greatly diminished them in the other. Botulinum toxin thus helps to localize the origin of the neuromyotonic discharges to the terminal regions of the peripheral nerve in those cases where the more proximal portions cannot be held responsible.

The present study was performed to investigate the possibility of "aberrant" innervation of the tips of the hindlimb digits in the rat, i.e., from other sources than the femoral and the main sciatic branches (tibial, peroneal, sural). Cutaneous injections of fluorescent tracers in the digits were co
