Herpes zoster is a dermatological disorder characterized by painful vesicles in the affected dermatome. While sensory symptoms are common, motor complications such as postherpetic pseudohernia, a rare condition involving abdominal muscle paresis, can occur. This report describes a neurologist in his mid-30s who developed herpes zoster followed by postherpetic abdominal pseudohernia, which resolved within three months. Pseudohernia associated with herpes zoster is a rare complication that may be misdiagnosed as an abdominal wall hernia. Stress and overwork may contribute to the onset of herpes zoster, highlighting the importance of work-life balance and stress management, especially in medical professionals and prioritizing self-care in medical professionals.
带状疱疹是一种皮肤病，其特征为在受影响的皮节出现疼痛性水疱。虽然感觉症状很常见，但也可能发生运动并发症，如疱疹后假性疝，这是一种涉及腹肌麻痹的罕见病症。本报告描述了一名35岁左右的神经科医生，他患了带状疱疹，随后出现疱疹后腹部假性疝，该病症在三个月内痊愈。与带状疱疹相关的假性疝是一种罕见的并发症，可能被误诊为腹壁疝。压力和过度劳累可能导致带状疱疹的发作，这凸显了工作与生活平衡和压力管理的重要性，尤其是在医学专业人员中，并强调医学专业人员要重视自我保健。
