Abstract
Neuropathy of the ophthalmic nerve (the first branch of the trigeminal nerve, CN V: V1) is the most common manifestation of herpes zoster. Neuropathy of the ophthalmic nerve occurs in 20% of cases of herpes zoster. Three types of pain are differentiated in trigeminal neuralgia: chronic burning pain, paroxysmal pain, and pain resulting from nonpain stimulation. Cutaneous hypoesthesia, anesthesia, and dysesthesia develop. Postherpetic neuralgia is characterized by pain persisting 3 months and longer after herpetic eruption. Combination therapy including early administration of antiviral drugs and tricyclic antidepressants has been proved to be most effective.
