Botulinum toxin is used to treat pelvic floor tension myalgia; however, its safety profile is poorly understood. We report an ischiorectal fossa abscess after pelvic floor injections of botulinum toxin. Physicians need to be aware of this possible complication, consider alternate injection techniques and antiseptic preparation before injection.
肉毒毒素用于治疗盆底张力性肌痛;然而,其安全性仍知之甚少。我们报告了一例在盆底注射肉毒毒素后发生坐骨直肠窝脓肿的病例。医生需要意识到这种可能的并发症,在注射前考虑替代注射技术和抗菌准备。
