OBJECTIVE The possible relationship between herpes zoster and acute urinary retention was investigated. METHODS Two cases of acute urinary retention secondary to herpes zoster are described. The pathophysiological mechanisms that influence this condition are analyzed. RESULTS Herpes zoster appears to play an important role in the development of micturition disorders. CONCLUSIONS Acute urinary retention can result from herpes zoster infection, although it usually resolves spontaneously.
