title: Acute angle-closure glaucoma following botulinum toxin injection for blepharospasm.
abstract: Botulinum toxin inhibits acetylcholine release and therefore could cause mydriasis. We report a case of acute angle-closure glaucoma which occurred shortly after a series of injections of botulinum toxin round the eyelids for blepharospasm.
