  Fig. 1 Clinical and radiological findings of the patient. A: Herpetic skin rash and prominent bulging on the right flank were observed. B: Abdominal CT revealed thinning of the right external oblique and internal oblique muscles (arrowheads). C, E: Thoracic spine MRI produced unremarkable T1-weighted images. D, F: Focal enhancement of the posterior nerve root (white arrow) and spinal nerve (gray arrow) at the T10 vertebral body level were found on contrast-enhanced images.
