| Core Tip |
Elsberg syndrome is a type of sacral radiculitis caused by various viruses. We report a rare case of a diabetic patient with refractory Elsberg syndrome secondary to varicella-zoster virus sacral neuropathy. A suboptimal response to conservative therapy was observed, likely compounded by underlying diabetic polyneuropathy, and short-term spinal cord stimulation therapy led to complete neurological recovery and pain resolution, which was sustained at the two-month follow-up. |
