Sunct Syndrome

Background SUNCT like syndrome secondary to post herpes zoster infection has not been reported in literature. Case We are reporting two cases of SUNCT like syndrome secondary to post herpes zoster infection of the V1 distribution of the trigeminal nerve. Treatment with pregabalin and lamotrigine achieved complete symptomatic relief in both patients. Conclusion SUNCT like syndrome can occur after herpetic infection of the trigeminal nerve. Unlike primary SUNCT syndrome, post-herpetic SUNCT like syndrome seems to respond well to pharmacological treatment and has a good prognosis.

Ophthalmic Branch

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.

Peripheral Motor

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.
