We show that a dispiration (a disclination plus a screw dislocation)
polarizes the vacuum of a scalar field giving rise to an energy momentum tensor
which, as seen from a local inertial frame, presents non vanishing off-diagonal
components. The results may have applications in cosmology (chiral cosmic
strings) and condensed matter physics (materials with linear defects).
