title: [Botox in children with cerebral palsy and triceps syndrome].
abstract: Botulinum toxin (botox) therapy was used in the children with cerebral palsy. Nine children, aged 3-6 years, with "triceps-syndrome" domination in a clinical picture, have been examined and treated. Control group included 9 children who have not been treated with botox. A three-week rehabilitation course has been prescribed to all the patients. Children treated by botulinum toxin injections performed better back of the foot bending, some electroneuromyographical indices being also optimized. The results obtained imply a use of botox for treatment of children with spastic forms of cerebral palsy.
