The role of Botulinum toxin in management of acute traumatic third-nerve palsy

Clinical use of botulinum toxins in oral and maxillofacial surgery

“…Such patients are less likely to recover than those with palsies of other causes 121 . There are few reports (level 4 evidence) of BTX injection to the lateral rectus muscle for treatment of third-nerve palsy 139,173,210 . BTX injection decreases the likelihood of contracture of the lateral rectus muscle, thereby allowing return of medial rectus muscle function 136 .…”

Third cranial nerve palsy and Purtscher retinopathy in a child with multiple injuries

“…8 Botulin toxin injections for traumatic III pair palsy have not demonstrated to improve complete recovery rates in the general population, although it shortens recovery time. 9 This explains the early application of Botox in children to promote binocularity and preventing amblyopia.…”

A Prospective Study on the Use of Botulinum Injection and Horizontal Strabismus in Children

“…The strabismic indications for Botulinum toxin injection range from small to moderate angle, comitant strabismus with potential for binocularity [12,13], adjuvant procedure following incisional strabismus surgery [14], paralytic strabismus to relieve diplopia and to prevent contraction of the antagonist muscle [15][16][17][18][19], restrictive strabismus example thyroid eye disease [20,21], Congenital and acquired nystagmus and oscillopsia [22], Internuclear ophthalmoplegia [23] and convergence spasm [24]. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first prospective study in Pakistan looking at the effect of botulinum toxin injection on strabismic patients with and without binocularity potential.…”
