Sumario:Herpes zoster infection in the sacral area accounts for a considerable number of all herpes zoster cases, and cases of acute urinary retention and defecation disorders caused by herpes zoster infection in the sacral area have been reported. However, no clinical case of spontaneous bladder rupture has been reported.
