Herpes zoster oticus is a common inflammatory disease caused by reactivation of varicella zoster virus in the dorsal root ganglia. Its symtpoms include unilateral distribution of the vesicular eruptions, neuralgia and various type of cranial nerve palsy depending on the involving site of head and neck region. Most commonly affected cranial nerves are facial nerve (VII) and vestibulocochelar nerve (VIII), but on rare occasions cranial nerves V, IX, X, XI are affected as well. Although neurologic symptom of herpes zoster was commonly reported, zoster associated hiccups is very rare. We experienced one case of herpes zoster oticus involving multiple cranial nerve palsy with intractable hiccups. We report our case with a review of literature.
