Although herpes zoster virus usually affects sensory nerves, it can also damage motoneurons. Injury to the phrenic nerve has been described previously, but only anecdotally. We report on a case of left hemidiaphragmatic paralysis with severe axonal degeneration secondary to cervical herpes zoster, and describe its clinical, radiological, pulmonary function and electromyographic evolution during an 18-month follow-up.
虽然带状疱疹病毒通常影响感觉神经，但它也会损害运动神经元。膈神经损伤此前已有报道，但仅为个案。我们报告一例因颈部带状疱疹继发严重轴索性变性导致的左侧半膈肌麻痹病例，并描述其在18个月随访期间的临床、放射学、肺功能和肌电图变化情况。
