AI Article Synopsis
- The patient is a 77-year-old Asian male who initially presented with herpes zoster in his left lumbar and abdominal areas, which resolved after two weeks.
- Following the herpes zoster, he developed a scaly rash and abdominal elevation in the same region.
- Pathological tests showed signs of psoriasis, and imaging indicated no abnormalities, suggesting a rare reaction called Wolf's isotopic response related to the pseudohernia.
Article Abstract
The patient, a 77-year-old Asian male presented with herpes zoster in the left lumbar and abdominal regions 9 weeks before presentation. The infection dried up after 2 weeks but was followed by an erythematous scaly rash in the same region with left-sided abdominal elevation. Pathological examination revealed continuous parakeratosis and Munro microabscesses. Abdominal computer tomography revealed no abnormalities, suggesting psoriasis with herpes zoster and Wolf's isotopic response to the pseudohernia of the abdominal wall.

Abdominal pseudohernia is a condition characterized by the protrusion of abdominal viscera through a weakened area of the abdominal wall without a hernia sac. Various causes, including spinal disorders and trauma, can lead to this condition; however, the most common cause is reported to be herpes zoster. We present a rare case of spontaneous resolution of abdominal pseudohernia following lung cancer surgery.

The vesicular eruptions that might be painful develop along a dermatome when the virus is reactivated. While postherpetic neuralgia is a well-known side effect of herpes simplex, there are well-reported motor consequences as well.
