Abstract
|
|
|
|
Lingual dystonia is an uncommon focal type of oromandibular dystonia that only affects the tongue. Although the use of several treatment modalities has been attempted to reduce involuntary tongue movements, such as anticonvulsants and anticholinergics, the results do not seem promising, and the efficacy of such treatments is unpredictable among patients. This case report describes botulinum toxin injection for a patient with lingual dystonia with favorable clinical results. Botulinum toxin injection to the muscles of the tongue could be an alternative treatment option for lingual dystonia.
