Resumo


We report a case of asymmetric flaccid paresis which developed following intake of oral polio vaccine affecting the left lower limb. Homeopathic treatment was started 20 days after the onset of symptoms. Paresis disappeared and the gait pattern became normal along the following 40 days. Homeopathy might be considered for treatment of acute paresis.
