ABSTRACT
Varicella zoster virus may cause a single presence or a combination of various types of cranial nerve palsy depending on the invasion site of head and neck region. Herpes zoster laryngitis has an extremely low incidence particularly in the head and neck region when compared to varicella zoster oticus. Moreover, it has also been reported to occur rarely from a worldwide perspective. The current case is a 63-year old man who visited us with a chief complaint of laryngopharyngeal pain. Flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy revealed complete right vocal cord palsy fixed at the intermediate position. We experienced a case of Herpes Zoster Laryngitis which was accompanied by a single presence of vagal nerve paralysis. Here, we report our case with a review of literature.
