BACKGROUND: First bite syndrome is an unexpected yet relatively common complication of surgeries involving the parapharyngeal space. It can have a significant effect on both the quality of life and physical health of affected patients. This study presents 3 cases of first bite syndrome treated with botulinum toxin and a review of the current literature on available treatment modalities for first bite syndrome.
METHODS: Three patients with first bite syndrome were injected with 75 units of botulinum toxin into affected parotid glands, focusing on areas of greatest first bite pain.
RESULTS: Two of 3 patients experienced complete relief of symptoms for 4 to 6 months. The third patient had significant decrease in pain at 4-month follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: Many treatments for first bite syndrome have been attempted including: dietary modification, pharmacological treatments, and surgical treatments. However, few have been successful. Botulinum toxin is a safe and effective treatment for this life altering and difficult to treat first bite syndrome.
