SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
We present a case of new-onset bulbar muscle weakness in the setting of therapeutic botulinum injections for spasticity in a teenaged patient with cerebral palsy. Through a careful history, a systemic effect of the local injections was suspected, and the patient's symptoms improved with a decrease in the dosing of the botulinum injections.
