Abstract:
A male patient with lepromatous leprosy developed nasal regurgitation of food due to palatal palsy during Type 2 reaction. Early high-dose administration of corticosteroid achieved a prompt therapeutic response and he completely recovered from palatal palsy. The associated lagophthalmos, foot drop and ulnar paralysis persisted.
