Botulinum toxin treatment of oromandibular and laryngeal dystonia
Oromandibular and laryngeal dystonia are relatively rare focal dystonia with diverse etiology and clinical presentation. Although botulinum toxin treatment is considered off-label in both, empirical experience points to its effect and justification in clinical practice. Adequate erudition in application, often with the need for EMG navigation, and multidisciplinary patient care in both types of diseases increase the likelihood of symptomatic improvement of their condition.
