Diagnosis And Management

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infections are widely distributed in the general population. The lifetime risk of herpes zoster is estimated to be 10–20 %, increasing with age (1–4). Since herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) accounts for 20 % of all locations of shingles, the lifetime risk of HZO is about 1–2 %. The management of ocular complications of VZV infection is now well codified, but sequellae still can occur, despite an armamentarium effective in limiting viral replication and its immune consequences.

Uncommon Complication

Oculomotor palsy is a recognized uncommon complication in herpes zoster ophthalmicus. A case of herpes zoster ophthalmicus with ophthalmoplegia is reported. A 15 year old boy presented with ptosis, chemosis, proptosis, ophthalmoplegia involving IVth and VIth cranial nerve following vesicular eruption on his right forehead. He was treated with oral acyclovir and oral steroids. He made a partial recovery with improvement of ptosis, proptosis but with residual VIth nerve palsy.
