AI Article Synopsis
- Ultrasound (US) imaging offers real-time anatomical details useful in clinical settings, particularly in otolaryngology.
- A case is presented where US imaging guided the injection of botulinum toxin (BT) to treat abductor spasmodic dysphonia, demonstrating effective results.
- The use of laryngeal US imaging aids in enhancing the success of BT injections and reducing the risk of complications by allowing visualization of the injection pathway and muscle infiltration.
Article Abstract
Ultrasound (US) imaging effectively provides real-time anatomical information for clinical examinations. In otolaryngology, US imaging can visualize laryngeal muscles as well as cervical muscles. Here we present the case where US imaging was used while injecting botulinum toxin (BT) for the treatment of abductor spasmodic dysphonia, which provided definite results. We could visualize not only the injection pathway but also the infiltration of the BT solution into the posterior cricoarytenoid muscles. Therefore, our laryngeal US imaging is useful for both improving the success rate and avoiding injection complications of BT.
