“…Differences greater than 23% of SAP and 12% of SCV between affected and unaffected nerve were considered significant. Our normative data for differences between the two sides of SAP and SCV of nerves of the upper and lower limbs was obtained in a previous study on sensory neuropathy in herpes zoster patients [9]. Our value of 23% for the difference in SAP of the radial nerve between sides was very similar to that reported by Brown and Watson for their normative data (20%) [1].…”

“…This theory has recently been challenged by other investigators who have demonstrated that there is damage to peripheral fibers of all sizes and who propose that central sensory reorganization is most important in the development of PHN [12]. This latter hypothesis is supported by studies that failed to show any prolonged pain relief from deafferentation procedures [8].…”

Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is the most common complication of herpes zoster, and as such has been an area of extensive medical research for the past three decades. The patients at highest risk for PHN include those older than 50 years, those with severe acute cases of zoster, and those with shingles in a trigeminal distribution. As persons with malignancy are at a high risk for developing zoster itself, PHN is a complication that will be faced by many of these patients and their caregivers. This article reviews the available treatments and preventative measures for this debilitating condition.

“…Segmental paresis, without polyneuropathy, have been described in 5-10% of patients after HZ. 7,11,14,20 EMG signs of denervation without clinical deficit have been demonstrated in higher percentages of patients. 3,9,14 Nerve biopsy confirmed the electrophysiological evidence of axonal damage.…”

“…7,11,14,20 EMG signs of denervation without clinical deficit have been demonstrated in higher percentages of patients. 3,9,14 Nerve biopsy confirmed the electrophysiological evidence of axonal damage. The autopsy findings in the dorsal and lumbar roots and the sural nerve biopsy results in the 2 cases reported by Dayan showed typical signs of de-and remyelination, especially paranodal, without Wallerian degeneration.…”
