What are other locations of herpes zoster?

Author: H K



Answer:

• Zona ophthalmic: this is the most common cranial nerve herpes zoster. The eruption registered in one or more of the three branches of the trigeminal nerve, especially in its ophthalmic branch (V1). Ocular complications may occur (keratitis, iridocyclitis, optic nerve, paralysis of the oculomotor nerve) • Zona geniculate (Ramsey-Hunt syndrome): to seek before any peripheral facial paralysis. The eruption set in the area of Ramsey- Hunt, causing pain in the ear and mouth • Zona of the limbs: band sometimes making rash limb length in an area corresponding to one or more roots • Zona of the oral mucosa: stomatitis, pharyngitis or laryngitis with unilateral erosions
