Abstract

Herpes zoster (HZ) is a segmental vesicular eruption, pain, and sensorial symptoms. Segmental motor weakness can rarely be seen as a complication of HZ. Here, we present two cases of motor paresis associated with HZ, case 1 was L2 and L3 segmental motor paresis with femoral neuropathy and case 2 was L5 and S1 segmental motor paresis with sensorial ganglion involvement. In both cases after electrotherapy, exercise program, and medication for pain, there were no motor weakness and pain. Zoster motor paresis is a rare complication that responds to treatment and physicians should be careful about its presence in clinical follow-up.
