Herpes zoster ophtalmicus is a disease in which Varicela -Zoster virus reproduces and causes an inflammatory proccess of ophtalmic-trigeminal facial skin, and occasionally other divisions of this nerve. It may be associated with conjunctivitis, queratitis, uveitis. extrinsic ocular muscular paralysis and acute retinal necrosis. Orbitary complications are usually produced between one or two weeks after cutaneous eruption, healing slowly with or without treatment. Central nervous sistem afection is sometimes produced, specially in inmunodepressed, as intracraneal extension of hystologic proccess of granulomatous vasculitis. Cutaneous hystology is an sterile vasculitis and granulomatous liponecrosis, and other divisions of V pair craneal may be affected. Gingivitis, odontalgy, auditives diseases, neuralgias and muscular palsy often coexist. Vasculitis produces ocasionally cutaneous, osseous or alveolar necrosis, that results in cutaneous and teeth loss and fistulae. Delayed arteritis temporal artery as a complication of herpes zoster ophtalmicus is an extremely uncommon proccess, in which is not possible to demostrate viral particles by electron microscopy. It is considered a consequence of the proximity extension of the granulomatous vasculitis to the carotid system, not a direct viral invasion (3).
