A 72-year-old female patient is presented, who was diagnosed with herpes zoster along the left ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve with associated cutaneous vesicles. The patient subsequently developed postherpetic neuralgia in the same dermatome, which, after remission, transformed into paroxysmal trigeminal pain. The two different symptom sets, with the former consistent with PHN and the later consistent with trigeminal neuralgia, were unique to our practice and the literature.

Herpes zoster infection, commonly known as Shingles, is caused by reactivation of the Varicella-Zoster virus which may have remained latent in the dorsal root ganglia. HZI is characterized by prodromal symptoms of unilateral deep aching, burning pain followed by a maculopapular rash, vesicular eruptions, ulcers, and scab formations over the affected nerve distribution. The ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve is more commonly involved in HZI than maxillary and mandibular branches; in particular, the maxillary involvement is rare. This is a case report of HZI in a 65-years-old male patient involving the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and prompt use of antivirals in managing orofacial HZI in dental practice.

Mandibular Branch

Background: Trigeminal schwannomas are rare tumors of the trigeminal nerve. Depending on the location, from which they arise along the trigeminal nerve, these tumors can present with a variety of symptoms that include, but are not limited to, changes in facial sensation, weakness of the masticatory muscles, and facial pain. Case Description: We present a case of a 16-year-old boy with an atypical presentation of a large trigeminal schwannoma: painless malocclusion and unilateral masticatory weakness. This case is the first documented instance; to the best of our knowledge, in which a trigeminal schwannoma has led to underbite malocclusion; it is the 19th documented case of unilateral trigeminal motor neuropathy of any etiology. We discuss this case as a unique presentation of this pathology, and the relevant anatomy implicated in clinical examination aid in further understanding trigeminal nerve pathology. Conclusion: We believe our patient’s underbite malocclusion occurred secondary to his trigeminal schwannoma, resulting in associated atrophy and weakness of the muscles innervated by the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve. Furthermore, understanding the trigeminal nerve anatomy is crucial in localizing lesions of the trigeminal nerve.

A 64-year-old lady noticed weakness of her thumb within two weeks of having developed “shingles” causing vesicular lesions on her arm and hand. Clinical and neurophysiological testing confirmed a lesion of the anterior interosseous nerve. Although motor involvement after herpes zoster infection is recognised, this usually has a myotomal distribution; isolated involvement of a branch of a peripheral motor nerve has not previously been described.
