We report an unusual neurologic complication of herpes zoster. After thoracic herpes zoster, our patient complained of severe shortness of breath as a result of myoclonus of the abdominal muscles as documented by electromyography. The myoclonus resulted in repetitive interruption of expiratory air flow, resulting in shortness of breath and a staccato speech. This case demonstrates the need to evaluate the function of all the respiratory muscles in a patient complaining of dyspnea.
我们报告了一例带状疱疹罕见的神经系统并发症。胸段带状疱疹后，我们的患者因腹部肌肉肌阵挛而出现严重气短，肌电图证实了这一点。肌阵挛导致呼气气流反复中断，从而引起气短和断续性言语。该病例表明，对于主诉呼吸困难的患者，有必要评估所有呼吸肌的功能。
