Abstract

|
|
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.
