| Abstract | Limb paralysis is a highly unusual complication of various types of vaccination. We report a case of arm paralysis after the first dose of DTP polio vaccine at 2 months of age and another case of arm paralysis after a first dose of influenza vaccine. MRI on both cases showed diffuse muscular oedema inflammation in the former and synovitis in the latter. Both resolved with conservative treatment within 48-72 hours. |
