title: [Botulinum toxin: clinical uses and anesthetic implications].
abstract: Botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin responsible for botulism, is at present used to treat anomalous muscle contractions. Administration to children and relatively uncooperative patients requires general anesthesia, which should be selected taking into consideration the special characteristics of the surgical procedure and the possible interactions of anesthetic drugs and the toxin.
