Abstract
Randomized, masked, prospective clinical trial evidence for therapeutic intervention in naturally occurring bovine polioencephalomalacia (polio) is nonexistent. This article evaluates the use of thiamine and anti-inflammatories in the therapy of polioencephalomalacia based on available information related to the pathophysiology of the disease, induced models, disease outcome in other species (sheep), and parallels in similar disease in humans.
