title: [Herpes zoster and polyradiculopathy: report of a case].
abstract: Polyradiculopathy that develops as a result of herpes zoster is rare. When it does occur, it usually follows the cutaneous eruption. However, we present a case of nerve impairment (motor, sensatory, and autonomic) that occurred prior to the cutaneous herpes zoster eruption.
