Abstract
A historical synthesis of Senecio didease in Colombia since 1964 is presented (25 cases). Pharmacological and phytochemical studies showed that retrorsine constitues 50% of alcaloids present in Senecio formosus. Published information regarding the toxicity of the use of Senecio has reduced the incidence of the disease in the last two decades.
