Implication

This case-series study reports muscle fasciculations following botulinum toxin in children with cerebral palsy, indicating a need for awareness of this possible adverse effect.

Key Points

Three pediatric patients experienced muscle fasciculations after botulinum toxin injection for spasticity.
Muscle fasciculations can occur despite appropriate dosing and clinical monitoring, highlighting a potential adverse effect.
The review suggests that muscle fasciculations may be transient and non-harmful, warranting further investigation.
Botulinum toxin remains the preferred treatment for muscle spasticity in cerebral palsy when combined with rehabilitation.
