  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We reviewed 371 cases who were treated with botulinum toxin A. The series comprised 153 cases of blepharospasm and 218 cases of hemifacial spasm. Their ages averaged 65.6±11.6 years. All the cases could be followed up for 1 year or longer. Following multiple sessions of treatment,clinical manifestations disappeared for one year or longer in 14 cases(9.2%)of blepharospasm and in 26 cases(11.9%)of hemifacial spasm. These rates were higher than those of hitherto reported spontaneous remission,suggesting the efficacy of treatment with botulinum toxin A. Cases resulting in remission started the treatment earlier after onset than the rest. These cases may also show favorable response after lesser sessions of treatment.
