Trigeminal Herpes zoster- A Case Report

Trigeminal Herpes zoster

Abstract

A thirty two years old female patient came to our clinic with papulo-pustular lesions due to varicela zoster virus infection over the left half of the face. The lesions were extensive over the lower part of the face and less over the upper part. Lesions were also present intraoraly involving tongue, check, lip , nostril etc . All the lesions were limited to the left half involving the areas supplied by sensory part of the trigeminal nerve. Thus the infection demonstrates the anatomy of the nerve.
