Abstract
|
|
|
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.
