ABSTRACT
Herpes zoster Ophthalmicus accounts for a minority of all patients with zoster infections. It leads to varied clinical presentations, but total unilateral ophthalmoplegia has rarely been reported in the literature. We hereby present a 50-year-old male patient presenting with the above combination for aiding the clinical diagnosis by dermatologists and ophthalmologists. Early initiation of treatment leads to a near total recovery of ophthalmoplegia in the majority of treated patients.
