Clinicopathologic observations in prodromal herpes zoster of the fifth cranial nerve

The contributions of Otto Hebold and Julius Gaupp to the study of spinal vascular malformations: Original documents and historical context

“…Other interpretations of Hebold's observation have included an arteriovenous angioma 3 (‘the first mention of such a condition is probably that of Hebold’), aneurysms of the posterior spinal arteries, 19 venous aneurysms, 2 or multiple miliary aneurysms. 20 Varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection, while compatible with prodromal odontalgia, 21 strabismus, dural sinuses thrombosis, 22 and ‘erysipelas’, appears less likely. Erysipelas and herpes zoster were commonly confused until von Bärensprung recognized the neural mechanism behind the latter in 1863 (prior to the discovery of viruses) and Fehleisen identified the bacterial origin of erysipelas in 1883.…”

Ramsay-Hunt syndrome complicating osteonecrosis of edentulous maxilla and mandible: report of a rare case

“…From 5-10 cases per 1000 persons are seen between the sixth and eight decades of life [20], less than 5% of attack occurs in persons younger than 10 years of age [21,22]. The increasing frequency of the HZI with the age has been suggested to be due to the disappearance of zosterneutralizing antibodies, which usually 2.…”

Spontaneous Tooth Exfoliation, Maxillary Osteomyelitis and Facial Scarring following Trigeminal Herpes Zoster Infection

“…HZ infection is predominantly a disease of the middle aged and elderly and less than 5% of cases occur in persons younger than 10 years of age. 24,25 The time interval between the onset of HZ and osteomyelitis with tooth exfoliation may range from immediate to 42 days. 15 In the cur rent case, necrosis, tooth mobility and exfoliation occurred within a month following the onset of vesicles.…”
