Long-term BoNT treatment administration has been assessed in various treatment settings (especially in neurology), with the level and duration of BoNT efficacy response being maintained with no major safety problems. Most side effects are local one and are transient. The incidence of antibody development is low and does not induce significant concerns in clinical practice.

It is linked to an extreme, permanent and symetric production of sweating because of an hyperactivity of sweat glands independant of thermo regulation process. ⋯ It is an easy, quick, efficient treatment which improved quality of life of these patients.

Multicenter Study
[Evaluation of dermatology consultations in a prospective multicenter study involving a French teaching hospital].
Dermatologic practice occurs mainly in the inpatient setting. This activity is also referred to as consultation-liaison dermatology (DL). ⋯ The study of these dermatologic diagnoses in an in-patient setting suggests a number of approaches to more successful management of these consultations.

PELVIS or SACRAL syndrome denotes the association of local haemangioma and malformation in the pelvic region. In this paper, we report a case noteworthy on account of the initially livedoid appearance of the haemangioma as well as associated amniotic banding of an upper limb. ⋯ Segmented haemangiomas are commonly associated with extracutaneous abnormalities. By analogy with PHACE syndrome, defined as association of segmented facial haemangioma with cerebral, ocular and cardio-aortic abnormalities, PELVIS/SACRAL syndrome denotes the association of segmented haemangioma of the loins (sacrolumbar region, buttocks or perineum=napkin haemangioma) with spinal dysraphia affecting the sacrolumbar spine, the terminal medullary cone, the genitourinary organs and the anal region to different degrees. Diagnosis of haemangioma associated with PELVIS/SACRAL syndrome may be delayed or complicated due to the macular, telangiectasic or livedoid appearance commonly seen. To our knowledge, there have been no reports to date of an association of amniotic banding with haemangioma or perineal dysraphia.
