Abstract
Approximately 1–5% of patients with herpes zoster develop motor weakness after dermatomal involve- ment. Trigeminal nerve is the most affected cranial nerve, but third and fourth cranial nerve involve- ment is rare in herpes zoster.3 Motor weakness oc- curs within 2 to 3 weeks after the onset of the rash. Ophthalmoplegia with herpes zoster ophthalmicus have been reported in the literature.. The ophthal- moplegia usually appears within 2 to 4 weeks after the onset of the rash, and is seen in 7–33% of pa- tients with HZO. Multiple cranial nevre palsies can be observed simultaneously. However, pan ophthal- moplegia is an extremely rare complication.4 Third nerve palsy may present with a total or partial in- volvement, but ptosis always occur
