Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
Most of the complications of herpes zoster are sensory. Segmental motor weakness is an unusual complication. We present a case of 50 years old male who presented with phantom hernia 3 weeks after the appearance of herpes zoster rash. Our emphasis lies on recognition of this benign self limiting entity to avoid unnecessary studies and procedures.
