Marked effect of botulinum toxin A for severe toe digital ulcers in a patient with systemic sclerosis
2014
: In this case we describe a successful combined treatment with local anaesthetics and botulinum toxin A. A 61-year-old man with systemic sclerosis of limited type presented treatment refractory digital ulcers on his toes with a poor response to conventional treatment. A combined treatment as above-mentioned prevented a threatening amputation and improved quality of life, reduction of pain and healing of wounds. Using botulinum toxin A combined with local anaesthetics to severe toe digital ulcers in patients with systemic sclerosis may be a solution, when other treatments have been ineffective and amputation seems to be the last option.
