摘要
Brachial plexus neuritis in the presence of herpes zoster infection is uncommon. Motor involvement is probably due to the spreading of inflammation from the dorsal root ganglia to the ventral roots and may be more extensive than the affected dermatomes. We present a case of herpes zoster brachial plexopathy with pure motor involvement both clinically and electrophysiologically.
