Abstract

Motor involvement in acute herpes zoster does occur,but is rare. Most causes of zoster paresis are due to the extension of the inflammation to the anterior horn and/or anterior motor roots. We report a female patient with an unusual diaphragmatic paralysis caused by cervical herpes zoster. The lesion, diagnosed by MRI, involved the anterior horn of the cervical spinal cord.

摘要

运动系统受累确实会发生在急性带状疱疹中，但较为罕见。大多数带状疱疹性瘫痪的原因是炎症蔓延至前角和/或前运动神经根。我们报告了一例由颈段带状疱疹引起的不寻常的膈肌麻痹患者。该病变通过 MRI 诊断，累及颈髓前角。
