[Oral manifestations of zona. Apropos of a case].
Oral manifestations of herpes zoster are very less common than cutaneous. Only a few cases of oral herpes zoster in children had been already described. Authors report a case of maxillary superior nerve's herpes zoster. Oral lesions are encountered in case of viral disease of the second and third branch of trigeminal nerve (VII, VIII). Dental pain is usually the first sign and can induce misdiagnosis. The diagnosis is based on the specific ulcerative lesions, strictly unilateral, developed in the field of sensitive innervation of the maxillary nerves. The use of antiviral drugs seems to be actually the best treatment.
