Abstract

Postherpetic shoulder paresis is a rare complication of the herpes zoster disease. Motor deficit can include root, plexus or peripheral nerves. We had a 71 year old female patient who presented with pain in her left shoulder and skin eruption. At the end of an electromyography (EMG) acute-subacute findings belonging to the superior truncus of brachial plexus were observed. The patient’s pain decreased after physical therapy combined with acyclovir and gabapentin treatment, but no improvement was observed in her paresis.

Özet

Post-herpetik omuz paralizisi, herpes zoster hastalığının nadir bir komplikasyonudur. Motor hasar kök, pleksus veya periferik sinirde olabilir. Sol omuzda döküntüyle birlikte ağrı şikayetleri ile başvuran 71 yaşındaki kadın hastamızın yapılan elektormyografi (EMG) sonucunda, brakial pleksusun üst trunkusuna ait akut-subakut bulgular görüldü. Fizik tedavi ve rehabilitasyon programı yanında, asiklovir ve gabapentin tedavisi uygulanan hastanın ağrılarında azalma görülürken paralizisinde düzelme olmadı.
