Herpes zoster (HZ) is related with the reactivation of latent varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection. This infection is associated with HZ-oticus, HZ-ophthalmicus, and disseminated-cutaneous HZ. Here, we report a case of an adolescent male who presented with vesicular-eruptions in the left-forehead. The physical examination showed vesicles on the left V1-dermatome and external auditory canal, associated with ipsilateral periorbital oedema, peripheral VII nerve paralysis, hyperacusis, and tinnitus. Acyclovir, eye lubrication, and ophthalmic prednisolone were started. On second admission day, he developed vesicular lesions throughout the body. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of the draining vesicles was VZV-positive.
