Abstract

It is often difficult to diagnose herpes zoster of the fifth cranial nerve prior to the appearance of the easily recognized cutaneous manifestations. In the case reported here, the disorder first appeared as an oral white patch.

Unusual oral complications of herpes zoster infection: Report of a case and review of literature
2010, Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology and Endodontology
A case of herpes zoster infection with unusual oral complications involving the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve is presented. The post-herpetic complications of osteonecrosis, spontaneous exfoliation of teeth, and subsequent pathologic fracture of mandible in the absence of concurrent predisposing factors in a 65-year-old man are demonstrated. Forty-one cases with osteonecrosis and spontaneous exfoliation of teeth previously presented in the literature are reviewed. This is the first report of pathologic fracture after herpes zoster infection.

Eleven case reports involving herpes zoster infection associated with alveolar bone necrosis and tooth loss were reviewed in order to develop a patient profile for this rare combination of physical findings. The clinical course of a 56-year-old white woman with herpes zoster infection of the fifth cranial nerve and related alveolar bone necrosis, tooth loss, and oroantral fistula development is reported. The etiology and management of herpes zoster infection associated with destructive oral sequelae are discussed.
Tooth exfoliation, osteonecrosis of the jaw and neuralgia following herpes zoster of the trigeminal nerve
1982, International Journal of Oral Surgery
A case of herpes zoster of the oral cavity involving the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve is presented. The post-zoster complications of tooth exfoliation, osteonecrosis and neuralgia in the abscence of concurrent local or systemic predisposing factors are demonstrated. 9 cases with similar serious dento-alveolar post-zoster complications previously presented in the literature are reviewed and the etiological rôle of Herpesvirus Varicellae in tooth exfoliation and osteonecrosis of the jaws is discussed.
