| Description |
Herpes zoster is a common disease caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus in the posterior root ganglion. Herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) accounts for 1 0-15% of all cases of zoster infection. Ocular motor palsies in HZO have been reported to occur in 5-33% of affected patients. The third cranial nerve is the most commonly involved nerve followed by the sixth and fourth, respectively. Ophthalmoplegia is quite unusual. |
