The use of botulinum toxin in adult otolaryngology has been commonly used in conditions such as spasmodic dysphonia, cricopharyngeal spasm, palatal myoclonus, sialorrhea, and for cosmetic reasons. The current use of botulinum toxin in pediatric otolaryngology and laryngology has primarily been off label and in children older than 2 years of age. This review discusses the different applications of botulinum toxin in pediatric patients and its effectiveness in treating different pediatric conditions.
