| Title | Monoparesis secondary to herpes zoster. | | Author(s) | Bilal S, Iqbal M, O'Moore B, Alam J, Suliman A | | Institution | Department of Internal Medicine, Louth County Hospital, Dundalk, Ireland, sb72pk@yahoo.com. | | Source | Ir J Med Sci 2009 Aug 27. | | Abstract | We describe a 90-year-old woman with right upper limb monoparesis secondary to varicella zoster virus infection as a result of extensive inflammatory involvement of the entire brachial plexus at root level. To our knowledge, this is the first report of entire brachial plexus involvement in a living patient of such advanced age. Despite a delay in presentation and thus initiation of treatment, a favourable clinical response was observed. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
