 | | HZO is manifested by localized pain over the distribution of the first division of the trigeminal nerve, followed by a cutaneous vesicular eruption over the forehead, lymph node enlargement in the drainage areas, fever, malaise, headache, sometimes neck stiffness, and a red eye. |
 | | In 1864, Hutchinson correctly proposed that cutaneous involvement in the distribution of the nasociliary nerve heralds ocular involvement. |
 | | Nerve damage may be associated with neurotrophic (neuroparalytic) keratitis, some ocular motor palsies, and neuralgia. |
