Herpes zoster ophthalmicus involving the first division of the fifth cranial nerve produces various clinical manifestations. Among them, external ocular motor palsy is a rare and uncomfortable complication, but it is generally transient and self-limited. This palsy can have a neural, vascular ormuscle origin. We report here on a case of ocular abduction palsy in a patient with herpes zoster ophthalmicus, and this palsy cleared up after treatment with systemic steroid for two weeks.

Herpes zoster is viral infection that presents unilateral skin rash or vesicle along the sensory nerve. It is known that pediatric herpes zoster rarely occurs and usually not so severe when it developed, except in immunocompromised children. We report an uncommon case of herpes zoster ophthalmicus in a 9-year-old boy. He presented with acute onset of vesiculopapular rash covering his left forehead, upper eyelid. He was treated with oral acyclovir and stellate ganglion block, with complete resolution without sequelae. In addition, we also review the literature on herpes zoster in childhoods.

We reported the case of Mr. M.H. Lee aged 46 years, who was first seen March. 4, 1972. The Chief complaint was pain on the left forehead and nausea for one day. Tension with the Schiotz tonometer was 45mmHg. The skin of left side of the forehead, inside of the eyebrow, left side of the radix nasi and nostril showed irregular papule formation in small circumscribed areas 2 days after admission. Acute iritis finding was occurred 6 days after the onset. The clinical course was one month. Sensitivity of the cornea was recovered and vision was improved to normal without posterior synechia or corneal ulcer.

We present four cases of herpes zoster treated successfully with vidarabine-5-monophosphate, two patients receiving chernotherapy and radiation therapy due to Hodgkins lymphoma or colon cancer, a patient combined with viral meningitis, and a patient with herpes zoster ophthalmicus. Viclarabine can be used to treat herpes zoster in immunosuppressed patients or patients with malignancy or patients with severe complications.

Only few studies focused on ocular motor paralysis in herpes zoster ophthalmicus. The manifestation of ptosis and paralysis of ocular motor nerve or one of its branches is rarely seen. However, careful examinations with regard to external ocular movements and iris would be helpful to detect the ocular motor paralysis. We report a case of ocular motor paralysis resulting from herpes zoster ophthalmicus. A 66-year-old woman was treated with acyclovir and steroid for an ophthalmic herpes zoster. Ptosis and impairment of gaze except lateral gaze appeared after the periorbital edema subsided. She showed moderately edematous cornea, corneal erosion, chemosis, but no definite dendritic lesions. The paralytic lesions cleared four months later.
