Abstract
Introduction: One of the sequelae of poliomyelitis is muscle atrophy, which presents with decreased muscle mass, especially in the lower limbs. Besides functional treatment, it is important to consider aesthetic treatment to correct muscle asymmetry because this condition negatively affects the quality of life. Case description: In this report, we describe the case of a female patient with muscle atrophy in the left calf due to poliomyelitis sequelae who was treated with intramuscular implantation of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres. Results: Obtained an increase of 7 cm in the circumference of the left calf after the end of the treatment. Conclusion: The result obtained with the intramuscular filling was effective in treating calf muscle asymmetry.
