Abstract

Focal hyperhidrosis is usually localized to the axillae, palms and soles. Less frequently, hyperhidrosis may be confined to the forehead and may have negative impact on patient’s quality of life. A 34-year-old man presented to our clinic with the complaint of frontal hyperhidrosis. He was treated with botulinum toxin A. Thirty points were marked over the forehead and at each injection point, 0.15 ml (3U) botulinum toxin A were injected intracutaneously. Hyperhidrosis was significantly reduced and the effect lasted for 12 months. Skindex-29, a quality-of-life measure for skin disease, was administered to the patient at the beginning and at the end of second week of botulinum toxin A injection. There was a significant improvement on the Skindex-29 scale at the end of the treatment. There was no any side effect detected during and after the treatment. Botulinum toxin A treatment is considered to be effective and safe for frontal hyperhidrosis. (Turk derm 2011; 45: 161-2)

Özet

Fokal hiperhidroz sıklıkla aksiller ve palmoplantar bölgeye lokalizedir. Fakat daha az sıklıkla hiperhidroz alın bölgesinde de görülebilir. Hastanın yaşam kalitesine olumsuz etkisi olabilir. Otuz dört yaşında erkek hasta alında terleme şikayetiyle polikliniğimiza başvurdu. Botulinum toksin A ile tedavi edildi. Alında 30 alan işaretlendi. Her alana 0.15 ml (3U) botulinum toksin intrakutanöz olarak injekte edildi. Hiperhidroz belirgin olarak azaldı ve bu etki 12 ay sürdü. Skindeks-29, dermatolojiye özel yaşam kalite ölçeği, tedavinin başlangıcında ve 2. haftanın sonunda hasta tarafından tamamlandı. Skindeks-29 skala ortalamalarında belirgin düzelme saptandı. Tedavi sırasında ve sonrasında yan etki saptanmadı. Botulinum toksin A tedavisi frontal hiperhidroz için etkili ve güvenli bulunmuştur. (Türk derm 2011; 45: 161-2)
