| Core Tip |
In addition to pain, herpes zoster may also cause bowel pseudo obstruction mainly colonic pseudo-obstruction. We present a rare small bowel pseudo-obstruction caused by herpes zoster. In this case, the small bowel pseudo-obstruction was relieved when an epidural block was used to treat the pain. Here, we explain the effective mechanism of treatment. Given that sympathetic innervation of the small bowel occurs by way of the T9 and T10 branches, an epidural catheter inserted from T9-T10, local anesthetics effectively blocked the sympathetic nerves innervating the small bowel. Promote small bowel peristalsis, expand small bowel blood vessels, improve small bowel function, so as to relieve small bowel pseudo-obstruction. |
