Similarity solutions for the propagation of cylindrical relativistic shock waves in the presence of a constant axial magnetic field for the medium, where the nucleon number density is uniform are obtained. The shock surface moves with constant velocity and the total energy of the disturbance is dependent on time. The solutions are applicable only to an isothermal medium or a cold gas.
