Abstract

A 78-year-old male patient, diagnosed with herpes zoster infection, had color change, stiffness, swelling and burning pain on his left hand. Hand joints were painful, joint range of motion decreased and hyperpigmented, macular lesions on the left C5-C6 dermatome region was determined. After the medical and physical therapy programme, symptoms decreased significantly. Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a painful disorder with swelling, stiffness in joints, vascular instability, and dystrophic skin changes. Symptoms most commonly occur after trauma, stroke, surgery, myocardial infarction, fracture, cancer. In this case, an unusual cause of complex regional pain syndrome, herpes zoster, was reported. Only a few cases have been reported to date. In this case report, it is emphasized that CRPS can occur as a complication of many conditions. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment lead to better outcomes.

Özet

Herpes zoster enfeksiyonu tanılı 78 yaşında erkek hastanın sol elinde renk değişikliği, tutukluk, şişlik ve yanıcı ağrısı mevcuttu. El eklemleri ağrılı, eklem hareket açıklığı azalmış ve hiperpigmente, sol C5-C6 dermatomal bölgede maküler lezyonlar tespit edildi. Medikal ve fizik tedavi programı sonrası semptomlar anlamlı şekilde azaldı. Kompleks bölgesel ağrı sendromu (KBAS) şişlik, eklemlerde tutukluk, vasküler instabilite, distrofik deri değişiklikleriyle ağrılı bir bozukluktur. Semptomlar sıklıkla travma, inme, cerrahi, miyokard enfarktüs, kırık, kanser sonrası görülür. Bu olguda kompleks bölgesel ağrı sendromunun olağandışı bir nedeni olan herpes zoster bildirilmiştir. Bugüne kadar sadece birkaç olgu rapor edilmiştir. Bu olgu sunumunda KBAS’nin birçok durumun komplikasyonu olarak görülebileceği vurgulanmaktadır. Erken teşhis ve tedavi, olumlu sonuçlara yol açmaktadır.
