ZONA ZOSTER CASE CAUSİNG POST-TRAUMATIC LOWER LIMB PARALYSIS
Journal Title: Kocatepe Medical Journal - Year 2024, Vol 25, Issue 1
Abstract
Zona zoster usually progresses with vesicles and sensory symptoms in the unilateral dermatomal area. It rarely causes motor paralysis. In the present case, a type II diabetes patient had developed distal motor paralysis accompanied by vesicles on the L4-L5 dermatome including peroneal, tibial and femoral nerves six weeks after the fibula bone fracture stabilized with a cast. Lumbar MR imaging showed contrast enhancement consistent in left lumbar area that points out lumbar plexitis. Zona zoster was found to be worth presenting as it can be triggered after trauma and can lead to plexus involvement.
