Herpes Zoster (HZ), is a segmental vesicular eruption, pain, and sensorial symptoms. Segmental motor weakness can rarely be seen as a complication of HZ. Here we present two cases of motor paresis associated with herpes zoster, case 1 was L2 and L3 segmental motor paresis with femoral neuropathy and case2 was L5 and S1 segmental motor paresis with sensorial ganglion involvement. In both cases after electrotherapy, exercise program, and medication for pain there were no motor weakness and pain. Zoster motor paresis is a rare complication that responds to treatment and physicians should be careful about its presence in clinical follow-up.

Herpes Zoster (HZ), segmental vezik�ler d�k�nt�, a�r� ve duyusal semptomlar ile karakterizedir. Segmental motor g��s�zl�k, nadiren HZ'nin bir komplikasyonu olarak g�r�lebilir. Burada herpes zoster ile ili�kili iki motor parezi olgusunu sunuyoruz. Olgu 1 L2 ve L3 segmental motor pareziye e�lik eden femoral n�ropati, olgu 2 ise duyusal ganglion tutulumu ile birlikte L5 ve S1 segmental motor parezi idi. Elektroterapi, egzersiz program� ve a�r� kesici ila� tedavisinden sonra her iki vakada motor g��s�zl�k ve a�r�da belirgin iyileime g�r�ld�. Zoster motor parezi, tedaviye yan�t veren nadir bir komplikasyondur ve hekimler klinik takipte olas� varl��na dikkat etmelidir.
