Abstract

Schwartz-Jampel syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by myotonia and skeletal dysplasia. Botulinum toxin A is emerging as a therapeutic option for patients with this syndrome. This study describes the use of botulinum toxin A in 4 children with Schwartz-Jampel syndrome. The response to this therapeutic modality was limited and variable.
