Abstract
Herpes zoster has been associated rarely with somatic and visceral motor complications, including segmental motor paralysis, neurogenic bladder dysfunction and, unusually, colonic pseudo-obstruction. We report a patient who developed acute pseudo-obstruction of the colon which followed the appearance of dermatomal herpes zoster.
