ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
In cervical dystonia, the accuracy of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injections may influence the response to the treatment.METHODS:
We used ultrasound to evaluate the accuracy of anatomy-guided injections of BoNT in the neck muscles.RESULTS:
A total of 56 consecutive patients and 332 injections were evaluated. The overall accuracy was 76.6%. The lowest accuracy (67.9%) was observed for the splenius capitis muscle.CONCLUSIONS:
Anatomic guidance of BoNT injections in the neck muscles is often inaccurate. Imaging guidance may improve the accuracy of BoNT injections in cervical dystonia.Palavras-chave
