However, motor involvement can be seen as well. If classic cutaneous lesions are present, HZ-related motor paresis is easily diagnosed. Otherwise, the diagnosis may be suspicious, especially if the weakness occurs before the cutaneous lesions have appeared, or weeks after they have subsided. We present a patient with HZ-related motor paresis due to radiculopathy in the cervical segments whose motor symptoms and signs appear as major clinical features.EnglishAgedAged, 80 and overHerpes ZosterHumansMaleParesiscorticosteroid derivativeagedanamnesisarmarticlecase reportcervicobrachial neuralgiaclinical featureelectromyographyherpes zosterhospital admissionhumanhyperpigmentationhypesthesiahypoalgesiaintervertebral disk hernialaboratory testlimb painmalemotor dysfunctionmotor unit potentialmuscle strengthmuscle weaknessneurologic examinationnuclear magnetic resonance imagingparesisphysical examinationrheumatic polymyalgiaright handednesssensory system examinationshoulder girdlesymptomVaricella zoster virusArticle
