Abstract
|
|
|
|
We report one rare case of a patient who developed external ophthalmolplegia and diplopia during treatment for herpes zoster ophthalmicus. Antiviral agent and systemic steroid were orally administered for complications of the herpes zoster ophthalmicus because there was no specific inflammatory sign on the MRI. The amount of diplopia was gradually decreased at 3 weeks after the onset of the treatment and then the patient did not complain about diplopia. Her ocular position was nearly orthophoric at 2 months. The herpes zoster ophthalmicus complicated with external ophthamoplegia should be timely treated with antiviral agent and systemic steroid.
