Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus

Orbital apex syndrome due to herpes zoster infection in a patient with chronic kidney disease: A case report

“…OAS cases that received neuroimaging, and magnetic resonance imaging showed enhancement of the extraocular muscles, optic nerve sheath, optic nerve, and soft tissue around the orbital apex, 8–16 the same as for our case. The mainstay treatment of OAS consists of antiviral and corticosteroid therapy, which may be administered via intravenous or oral routes 8–16 . Most studies reported initiating corticosteroids after antiviral drugs were administered for 48 h 8–16 .…”

“…The rapid and significant response to corticosteroids supports this hypothesis. The sequelae of OAS in patients with herpes zoster ophthalmicus vary from complete recovery, as was observed in our case, to deficits in vision and ocular motility 8–16 . Recent data have shown that concurrent treatment with corticosteroids, either orally or intravenously, and antiviral drugs are adequate 8–16 .…”

Although OAS is a rare complication, scheduled follow‐ups should be performed.…”

“…In our case, initial vision was hand movement, which occurred 2 weeks after the rash presentation. Regarding lumbar puncture in this aforementioned study, cerebrospinal fluid profiling showed pleocytosis, predominantly involving lymphocytes; 8–16 however, it was unremarkable in our case. OAS cases that received neuroimaging, and magnetic resonance imaging showed enhancement of the extraocular muscles, optic nerve sheath, optic nerve, and soft tissue around the orbital apex, 8–16 the same as for our case.…”
