Two cases of excessive muscle contraction in the oro-facial area that were treated by intramuscular injection of botulinum toxin (BTX) are reported.<BR>Patient 1, a 68-year-old woman with a diagnosis of tongue carcinoma, had idiopathic hemifacial spasms. She received local injections of BTX type A (10 to 20U) into facial muscles 3 times. Consequently, facialspasms improved considerably. Electromyography showed reduced muscle fibrillation on blinking.<BR>Patient 2 was a 44-year-old man who had speech disturbance because of involuntary overactive muscles of the mouth region. He received local injections of BTX type A into the lower facial muscles 3 times for a diagnosis of facial spasm and oromandibular dystonia.The dose of BTX ranged from 10 to 30 U. Oral movement disorder improved. The patient's speech is now very smooth and clear.<BR>These two patinets had no disabling side effects. Botulinum therapy seems to be effective in carefully selected patients with overcontraction of oro-facial muscles.
