Abstract
Background
: Herpes zoster ophthalmicus occurs due to reactivation of latent varicella-zoster virus in the trigeminal ganglion, commonly involving the ophthalmic division. To the best of our knowledge, ocular involvement in zoster cases affecting the maxillary division have been rarely reported.
Case Report
: We present two young females with herpes zoster ophthalmicus involving the maxillary division with corneal involvement.
Conclusion
: All cases of zoster infection should be referred to an ophthalmologist for early intervention and prevent sequelae like corneal opacity. Maxillary zoster may sometimes precede ophthalmic zoster and zoster ophthalmicus may occur without skin rashes, involving only the cornea or iris.
