Abstract

Herpes zoster (HZ) caused by Varicella Zoster Virus causes several complications, the most common being PHN (Post Herpetic Neuralgia). Here we report a case of phantom hernia following HZ involving T10-T11 dermatome. Close follow up will ensure full recovery to avoid unnecessary surgical intervention.
