- * The established criteria aim to help healthcare providers make informed decisions when ordering diagnostic imaging for FUO, while also highlighting the need for more thorough future research in this area.
Does injection of botulinum toxin to salivary glands require ultrasound guidance?
Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol
November 2024
Introduction: Injection of botulinum toxin into salivary glands is a well-established treatment for sialorrhea in children, but the absolute need for radiological guidance has not been tested.
Methods: Single-centre study in which clinicians of varying seniority attempted blind injection of salivary glands, after which their position within or outside the gland was confirmed by ultrasound guidance before the injection is administered.
Results: 117 patients underwent botulinum toxin of salivary glands between November 2008 and August 2023, with 459 glands injected in total.
