postherpetic abdominal hernia herpes zoster infection peritoneal dialysis end-stage renal disease patient peritoneal rare abdominalAbstract
Patients affected by chronic kidney disease, especially those requiring maintenance dialysis therapy, are particularly susceptible to infections, including reactivation of herpes zoster and are also at increased risk of herpes zoster complications.
Postherpetic abdominal pseudohernia is a rare sequela of the infection, caused by motor neuropathy with muscle paresis, that manifests as an abdominal protrusion.
In patients receiving peritoneal dialysis who may often present slight abdominal distension, the diagnosis of this complication may be challenging.
We present a case of this rare neurological complication in a patient on peritoneal dialysis and discuss its etiology and management.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of postherpetic abdominal pseudohernia in a patient receiving kidney replacement therapy.
