Laryngeal Electromyographic Findings in a Cohort of Recalcitrant Chronic Neurogenic Cough Patients.

Objectives: To evaluate the laryngeal electromyography findings of bilateral thyroarytenoid muscles in 10 patients with chronic, intractable coughing.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort case series. Clinical records were reviewed for demographic information, symptoms, and findings on bilateral laryngeal EMG for 10 patients referred for chronic coughing.

Contralateral weakness following botulinum toxin for poststroke spasticity.

Introduction: We describe 2 patients who received botulinum toxin A (BoNT) for poststroke spasticity and developed contralateral limb weakness.

Methods: Both patients received high doses of BoNT with large dilution volumes and injection in the proximal upper extremity muscles, and developed weakness of the contralateral upper limb. These patients then underwent electrodiagnostic testing of the affected limb.
