Senior
author Andrew Blitzer is an internationally renowned pioneer on the use
of botulinum neurotoxin for functional disorders, with unparalleled
expertise on this topic. Joined by esteemed co-editors Brian Benson and
Diana Kirke, with multidisciplinary contributors, Botulinum Neurotoxin for Head and Neck Disorders Second Edition
fills a gap in the medical literature. The unique textbook focuses on
the use of botulinum neurotoxins for functional disorders of the head
