Abstract
Herpes zoster (HZ) occurs as a result of the reactivation of varicella-zoster virus and is characterized by neuralgic pain, constitutive symptoms, pruritus and dysesthesia along nerve pathways. Vesicles on an erythematous base in a dermatome can be identified, and vision loss may occur in cases of ocular involvement. HZ is clinically diagnosed and treated with antivirals. This study aims to report a rare case of HZ simultaneously affecting the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve and the lumbar and sacral dermatomes. The patient was clinically cured after treatment with acyclovir for 7 days and did not present other complications.
