Proposed Potential Anatomical Landmarks for Percutaneous Botulinum Toxin Injection in Anterocollis-typed Cervical Dystonic Patient: A Pilot Study Utilizing Thiel-embalmed Human Cadavers
Abstract:Objective: Botulinum toxin (BoTX) injection to the longus colli (LCo) muscle has been demonstrated to have a role in treating cervical dystonic (CD) patients. It can, however, cause critical complications and awareness of such complications is required. Currently, there is no substantial information regarding this novel procedure. This study aims to define the potentially safe method of injection based on assessment of anatomical measurements.Materials and Methods: We examined distances between the puncture si… Show more
