Abstract

Zusammenfassung

In seiner zweiten großen “Wurstgift-Monographie” beschrieb Justinus Kerner 1822 mögliche Indikationen für eine Anwendung von Botulinumtoxin. Neben den mittlerweile etablierten Indikationen Bewegungsstörungen und vermehrte Drüsensekretion hielt er auch einen Einsatz zur Verbesserung der Wundheilung und bei psychiatrischen Erkrankungen für möglich. Die Übersicht soll zeigen, dass sich alle therapeutischen Visionen von Justinus Kerner erfüllt haben, wenngleich auch bei vielen der ungewöhnlichen Indikationen lediglich auf kasuistischer Basis.

Summary

In his second monograph on the so-called “Sausage Poison”, Justinus Kerner described in 1822 possible future indications for the treatment with botulinum toxin. Apart from the meanwhile established indications such as movement disorders and glandular hypersecretion, Kerner as well suggested the treatment of wounds and psychiatric diseases. The following review will demonstrate, that all of Kerner´s therapeutic visions have been realized, however in many of the uncommon indications by case reports only.
