Treatment of scapula dyskinesia with botulin toxin: two case reports

Abstract

We report two cases of scapula-thoracic dyskinesia with different etiologies where both patients complained of functional limitation and pain in the shoulder. The first case was caused by a road accident, the second by sequelae of surgery to remove aggressive scapula-axillary fibromatosis. In both patients, therapy with botulin toxin type A (Botox) was performed, which determined a reduction in pain. In the first case, there was also an improvement in function. There were no side effects in the two patients after the injections.
