Sacral zoster with a primary complaint of difficulty voiding

چکیده
INTRODUCTION Motor paresis is a known but rare complication of herpes zoster, estimated to occur between 0% and 6% of all cases. The pathogenesis of motor involvement is poorly understood but has been reported occurring with virus reactivation in nerves of the head, trunk, and extremities. In addition, visceral motor paresis manifesting as urinary or bowel dysfunction has also been described. Here we report a case of a 27-year-old man who presented with a primary complaint of difficulty voiding, which was eventually found to be caused by sacral herpes zoster.

متن کاملComparison of direct bladder and sacral nerve stimulation in spinal cats.
Neuroprosthetic techniques have been used to facilitate voiding via electrical stimulation for bladder management following spinal cord injury (SCI), but high urethral resistance has been a problem. This problem was investigated here in the chronic, spinal, male cat (C6-T1) using direct bladder and sacral nerve stimulation.

متن کاملSelective Block Techniques of Urethral Sphincter Contractions in Sacral Anterior Root Stimulation
Conventional sacral anterior root stimulation (SARS) results in simultaneous activation of both, the detrusor muscle and the external urethral sphincter. We evaluated the possibilities of different neurostimulation techniques to overcome the stimulation induced detrusor-sphincter-dyssynergia and to achieve a physiological voiding. The literature was reviewed on different techniques of sacral an...
