Resumen

La toxina botulínica tipo A (TXA) es una neurotoxina que se ha utilizado en el tratamiento del estrabismo, el blefarospasmo, la espasticidad y los movimientos musculares anormales, así como en el dolor secundario a la contractura muscular excesiva. Presentamos el caso clínico de una paciente que padecía una epicondilitis lateral de 12 meses de evolución, a la que se le habían realizado dos infiltraciones de corticoides y 20 sesiones de rehabilitación sin mejoría alguna y que, tras infiltración con TXA en el músculo extensor radio corto del carpo mejoró espectacularmente, hasta la resolución total del cuadro.
