title: [Herpes zoster cephalicus].
abstract: The clinical features of ENT infections induced by the herpes zoster virus are presented. Detailed descriptions of two cases affecting the ear and one affecting the larynx are given, supplemented by photographs. The possible cranial nerve lesions are demonstrated by a review of the literature. An attempt is made to assign the distribution of dermomucosal eruptions and associated sensory and motor dysfunctions to the appropriate neuroanatomical structures.
