OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to present our initial experiences of imaging-guided intramuscular botulinum toxin (BTX) injection in patients with idiopathic cervical dystonia.

CONCLUSION. Imaging-guided BTX injection is a useful treatment technique in patients with idiopathic cervical dystonia when target muscles are located deeply or an injection must be delivered to a focal muscle area.

Keywords: botulinum toxin • cervical dystonia • PET/CT • sonography
