The possible major reasons are ipsilateral hemicystitis, neuritis-induced or myelitis-associated virus infection. We report a case of a 65-year-old immunocompetent female patient who presented an acute urinary retention after four days under treatment with valacyclovir for gluteal herpes zoster. The patient had to use a vesical catheter, was treated with antibiotics and corticosteroids and fully recovered after eight weeks.985-987engHerpes ZosterTreatment outcomeUrinary retentionArtigo10.1590/abd1806-4841.20143185S0365-05962014000600985WOS:000345150200019Acesso abertoS0365-05962014000600985.pdf8789480458377552
