We report the rare case of a woman initially diagnosed with poliomyelitis who later developed rheumatoid arthritis (RA) asymmetrically. A radiological sparing effect was observed in the patient’s paralyzed limb. We observed that the blood flow to the paralyzed limb was diminished. It has been generally believed that a diminished blood flow contributes to the development of RA; however, in this patient the diminished blood flow was associated with protective effects against destructive changes due to RA.
