It is associated with high morbidity and mortality due to diagnostic dilemmas and the need for surgical intervention.

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.
