Use of antiepileptic drugs in Estonia: an epidemiologic study of adult epilepsy.

abstract：:Botulinum A toxin (BT) has been successfully used for the management of spasticity in cerebral palsy (CP). However, the long-term results of BT have not yet been determined. We have studied the evolution of a homogeneous group of patients with CP treated with BT. All these patients had an equinus gait resulting from c...
