Ultrasound Guided Muscle Injection of Botulinum Toxin A in Children: How We Do It.
Purpose or Case Report: The purpose of this educational poster is to describe and illustrate our technique to perform Ultrasound Guided Botulinum Toxin A muscle injections in children. We explain the pre-procedural preparation including clinical assessment, injection planning and obtaining informed consent. Intra-procedure we describe limb positioning and preparation on the procedure table; showing and explaining in detail the equipment that we use. We illustrate muscle schematics with ultrasound correlation. The identification of different muscle groups on ultrasound is the main goal of this educational poster. Additionally, we will provide technical tips and potential pitfalls, which an interventional radiologist may encounter performing this procedure. The post-procedural management will wrap up our educational poster. Methods & Materials: Results: Conclusions:
