abstract: Herpes zoster is a viral disease with cutaneous and mucous manifestations. They occur in 30% cases in the trigeminal area and in 7.2% cases in other parts of the head. Typical manifestations are nevralgias simulating dental pain, also vesicles with an erythematous halo located in the territory of the second and third trigemial branch. They erupt on the skin, the lips, tongue, palate and cheeks. Zosteric nevralgia may extend into the territory of the first trigeminal. There is no known causal therapy and local treatments are but unsatisfactory pallatives.
