We present the case of a 62-year-old woman with abdominal segmental paresis consequent to radiculopathy caused by zoster, which was confirmed by electroneuromyography. The paresis resolved completely within three months. Recognition of this complication caused by zoster, which is easily misdiagnosed as abdominal herniation, is important for diagnosing this self-limited condition and avoiding unnecessary procedures.
我们报告了一例62岁女性因带状疱疹引起神经根病导致腹部节段性轻瘫的病例,该病例经肌电图检查得以确诊。轻瘫在三个月内完全缓解。认识到这种易被误诊为腹疝的带状疱疹并发症,对于诊断这种自限性疾病及避免不必要的手术操作很重要。
