This systematic review explores the association between herpes zoster (HZ) infection and Ogilvie's syndrome (acute colonic pseudo-obstruction), evaluating how varicella-zoster virus (VZV) reactivation may contribute to autonomic dysfunction leading to intestinal obstruction. A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases up to October 2024, in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Eligible studies included case reports, clinical images, and letters reporting Ogilvie's syndrome secondary to HZ or VZV infection.
