| Popis: | A 76-year-old female was admitted to Izumi City Hospital with otalgia, a sore throat, dysphagia and dyspnea. A physical examination revealed ear and pharyngo-laryngeal herpetic lesions and a IX, X cranial nerve disorder. The patient underwent a tracheostomy on the second day of hospitalization because of laryngeal stenosis. Palsy involving the VII cranial nerve and auricular herpetic vesicles were recognized on the third hospital day. Otalgia, the sore throat and dysphagia were improved rapidly after acyclovir treatment. The W and K cranial nerve palsy was improved gradually, but the X cranial nerve disorder remain. Accordingly, physicians should be alert to the possibility of air way stenosis in cases of laryngeal herpes zoster. |
