Abstract

We present the case of a 62-year-old woman who was receiving treatment for herpes zoster and experienced paraplegia, and bladder and bowel disturbance. The brain MRI diffusion-weighted image showed an abnormal hyperintense signal and apparent diffusion coefficient decreased in left medulla oblongata. The spinal cord MRI T2-weighted image showed abnormal hyperintense lesions in the left side of cervical spinal cord and thoracic spinal cord. We diagnosed varicella-zoster myelitis with medullary infarction, because varicella-zoster virus DNA was detected in the cerebrospinal fluid by polymerase chain reaction. The patient recovered with early treatment. This case shows the importance of evaluating not only skin lesions, but also distant lesions.
