Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Herpes zoster is a viral infection caused by the reactivation of the varicella zoster virus, an infection most commonly affecting the thoracolumbar trunk.

HZI of the trigeminal nerve distribution network manifests as multiple, painful vesicular eruptions of the skin and mucosa which are innervated by the infected nerves, usually associated with severe pain. Oral manifestations of HZ appear when the mandibular or maxillary divisions of the trigeminal nerve are affected. Reports of osteonecrosis and spontaneous tooth loss following herpes zoster infection of the fifth cranial are extremely rare. We are reporting a case of Herpes zoster involving the left side maxillary nerve with osteonecrosis of the maxilla .
