[Botulinum toxin treatment in children with cerebral palsy].

Botulinum toxin is used for decreasing spasticity, improving gait pattern and preventing secondary deformities and orthopedic surgeries in children with cerebral palsy. Despite its wide use, there is no evidence for the long-term beneficial effect of the toxin. The authors focused on the short-term effects of the toxin and on the subjective evaluation done by the parents about the botox treatment.
