Abstract

Segmental zoster paresis is characterized by skin rash, sensory change and motor weakness in the myotome that corresponds to the dermatome of the rash. Herpes zoster induced pure motor paresis is a rare complication of herpes zoster without sensory involvement in brachial plexopathy. We present a case of segmental paresis, which involved motor nerve without sensory nerve involvement electrophysiologically.
