Orbital disease in herpes zoster ophthalmicus

Abstract: Three cases of orbital inflammatory disease caused by herpes zoster are described. This extremely rare complication occurred between 5 days and 14 days following the skin eruption and slowly resolved with or without treatment. Biopsy of a chronic inflammatory lesion on the cheek of one patient demonstrated a sterile vasculitis and granulomatous liponecrosis, a process which may underlie the orbital disease in these patients.

“…Apenas alguns casos de oftalmoplegia completa associada ao HZO foram descritos na literatura médica mundial nos últimos 30 anos (7) . A divisão oftálmica do V nervo craniano é afetada em 7 -17,5% dos indivíduos com Herpes zoster e a intensidade do zoster oftálmico pode variar desde doença grave, ameaçando a vida e a visão, até doença de moderada gravidade, podendo passar desapercebida (5) . O envolvimento oftalmológico pelo HZO pode ser resultado de alterações inflamatórias, danos nervosos ou secundário a lesões dermatológicas.…”

“…O envolvimento oftalmológico pelo HZO pode ser resultado de alterações inflamatórias, danos nervosos ou secundário a lesões dermatológicas. As alterações inflamatórias podem ocorrer na forma de ceratite (dendrítica, numular ou disciforme), vasculite, episclerite, esclerite, irite, papilite isquêmica ou neurite óptica (5) . No exame oftalmológico da paciente evidenciou-se ceratite epitelial, uveíte difusa, hipertensão ocular, além de acometimento da MOE e do nervo óptico.…”
