Post-herpetic abdominal pseudohernia (PHAP) is a rare complication associated with herpes zoster (HZ), characterized by transient paresis of the myotome ipsilateral to the affected segmental nerves. Clinically, it manifests as asymptomatic laxity and protrusion of the abdominal musculature, mimicking abdominal wall herniation. While the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) primarily affects the sensory nervous system, the incidence and prognosis of motor involvement remain poorly estimated.

Mesh fixation remains a key challenge in laparoscopic hernia repair, with no universally accepted technique established to date. This study investigates the clinical application of cyanoacrylate (CA) as the sole fixation method in laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) repair for midline ventral hernias. A retrospective analysis of patients with midline ventral hernias who underwent IPOM-only glue (IPOM-OG) repair from September 2022 to December 2023 has been carried out.

Herpes zoster is a dermatological disorder characterized by painful vesicles in the affected dermatome. While sensory symptoms are common, motor complications such as postherpetic pseudohernia, a rare condition involving abdominal muscle paresis, can occur. This report describes a neurologist in his mid-30s who developed herpes zoster followed by postherpetic abdominal pseudohernia, which resolved within three months.

Case Summary: A 16-year-old female spayed domestic shorthair cat presented with an acute mass-like outpouching of abdominal viscera unilaterally in the right caudal abdominal ventrum without history of trauma. This abnormality was not identified on prior diagnostic investigations for hyporexia up to 3 weeks prior. A CT examination revealed a protrusion of the viscus through an area of anomalous abdominal wall thinning associated with the discontinuation of the transverse abdominis muscle in this region, rather than a true hernia.
