Recovery of Abdominal Wall Postherpetic Pseudohernia Simultaneously with Pain Relief: A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Pseudohernia is a rare complication of herpes zoster infection. While the main presentation is sensory problems, motor involvement may occur in the same dermatome as motor weakness, which can cause abdominal wall bulging mimicking a hernia. A 55 year-old man visited the author’s clinic for severe postherpetic neuralgic pain in the T11 dermatome with abdominal bulging. Following a diagnosis of postherpetic neuralgia and accompanying pseudohernia, epidural block and medication were administered. As the patient’s pain gradually subsided, his bulging also reduced. Therefore the author reports the present case.
