Isolated Anterior Interosseous Nerve Palsy Following Herpes Zoster Infection: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

From the Departments of Orthopaedics and Hand Surgery, Derbyshire Royal Infirmary, Derby

Correspondence: Mr. P. G. Lunn, Derbyshire Royal Infirmary, London Road, Derby.

A 64-year-old lady noticed weakness of her thumb within two weeks of having developed "shingles" causing vesicular lesions on her arm and hand. Clinical and neurophysiological testing confirmed a lesion of the anterior interosseous nerve. Although motor involvement after herpes zoster infection is recognised, this usually has a myotomal distribution; isolated involvement of a branch of a peripheral motor nerve has not previously been described.
