Axilliary and palmar @entity1119 can become a considerable social and @entity1032 . Local treatments are not always effective and endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy is not without side effects. The efficacy of botulinum toxin has recently been demonstrated in axillary and palmar @entity1119 . Between June 2001 and June 2002, we treated all the @entity1 presenting with axillary and palmar @entity1119 , resistant to classical treatments, with intradermal injections of botulinum toxin A (Dysport). The aim was to assess the interest of this technique at moderate doses, in a prospective, open, controlled study. @entity1 AND METHODS: The hyperhidrotic areas, revealed by Minor's test, were treated with intradermal injections of 100 U of Dysport in the axilliary form and 250 U in the palmar form. @entity1 were seen after 1 month and 6 months and underwent a Minor's test, photographic control and they filled-in a questionnaire to measure their satisfaction. RESULTS: Ten @entity1 : 9 @entity1 and 1 @entity1 aged 19 to 63, were included. Three of them consulted for palmar @entity1119 and 7 for auxiliary @entity1119 . Within 2 to 7 days, treatment was successful in all @entity1 . The follow-up was of 3 to 12 months. The satisfaction index was comprised between 7/10 and 9/10. The relapse-free interval was of 2 to 9 months. Three @entity1 were given a second injection, which doubled the relapse-free period. Side effects included @entity158 with the palmar injections and moderate @entity10 . DISCUSSION: This French study confirms the efficacy of botulinum toxin A in the treatment of axillary and palmar @entity1119 with relatively low doses (100 U of Dysport per armpit and 250 U per palm). This is an easily reproducible, well tolerated, method without major side effects.
