- Abstract
- Herpes zoster is a viral disease that produces inflammatory lesions in the posterior root ganglia and is characterized clinically by pain and a skin eruption in the distribution of the affected ganglia. Involvement of motor roots or the CNS occurs in a small percentage of the patients. There are few reports about multiple cranial and upper cervical nerve involvement. We report a herpes zoster with multiple cranial(VI, VII, VIII, XII) and upper cervical(C2,3) nerves involvement. The patient was a 79-year-old woman who presented with painful vesicular eruption on left side of face and neck. She complained of decreased hearing and hyperacusis of left ear. Neurologic examination showed decreased taste sensation of left anterior tongue, left facial palsy, and tongue deviation to the left side.
