Background: The relationship between varicella-zoster virus (VZV)-associated myelitis and aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin-G (AQP4-IgG) remains unknown. Case Report: We report a case of acute radiculomyelitis with longitudinal extensive hyperintensity signals traversing the brainstem until the upper thoracic cord in a 55-year-old healthy woman following herpes zoster infection in the left C4-T3 dermatome. VZV-specific IgG in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and AQP4-IgG positivity on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were undetectable. Thus, she was diagnosed with immune-competent VZV radiculomyelitis. Forty-two months later, she experienced a relapse, and AQP4-IgG positivity was detected on ELISA. A cell-based assay (CBA) showed AQP4-IgG positivity not only at the time of recurrence but also retrospectively at 1 month after the initial symptoms. We concluded that AQP4-IgG-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) was concurrent with VZV myelitis. After the second attack, she was treated with azathioprine and has had no relapse since then. Conclusion: We reported a case of VZV radiculomyelitis with confirmed concurrent AQP4-IgG positivity. NMOSD induced by herpes zoster has been recently identified, but distinguishing it from VZV myelitis can be difficult and whether these two diseases aggravate each other is unknown. Awareness of the potentially varied presentation of VZV myelitis can enable earlier recognition and proper treatment.
