Sumario:A 45‐year‐old man was evaluated for right abdominal bulging. Computed tomography showed segmental flaccidity of the right abdominal muscle without an abdominal hernia. Although typical vesicles and pain were absent, we diagnosed herpes zoster (HZ) because of the presence of a few eschars on the affected area without a history of diabetes mellitus. Although transient unilateral abdominal muscle paralysis due to HZ without typical skin vesicles or pain is rare, it is imperative to consider the possibility of HZ and seek skin changes such as eschars in such cases.
