Herpes zoster ophthalmicus was seen in 22 cases out of 195 cases of herpes zoster (11.3% incidence). It was affecting mainly adults (90.9%). Oedema over the lids (81.8%) was invariably present and lead to ptosis. Mucopurulent conjunctivitis, predominantly mucoid (72.7%) was the commonest manifestation associated with vesicles over the lid margins. Sectorial (22.7%) and diffuse (9.1%) episcleritis appeared in later part of first week, while nodular episcleritis was observed in one case only on 12th day of the disease. Nummular keratitis was seen in 31.8% of cases between 8-10 days. Iritis and iridocyclitis was seen in 45.4% of cases out of which 36.3% had secondary ocular hypertension (glaucoma). Neuroparalytic keratitis and internal ophthalmoplegia were detected in one patient each. Postherpetic neuralgia occurred in 22.7% of cases and was uncommon in younger age group (below 40 years, 4.5%). Carbamazepine was effective in relieving the herpetic pain.

Idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia is almost always associated with pathological nerve/vessel contact. Symptomatic forms of trigeminal neuralgia include cases of multiple sclerosis, infratentorial tumours and postherpetic neuralgia. Vascular malformations causing neuralgia have rarely been reported. We present the case of a 55-year old woman, who suffered from facial pain and ptosis on her left side. Repeated neurological examinations as well as repeated magnetic resonance imaging did not lead to a definite diagnosis or therapy. The pain suddenly stopped three weeks before admission and only a slight left sided facial hypaesthesia persisted. Reevaluating the older MRI we found a small signal alteration of 2 mm in the caudal part of the left trigeminal nucleus. A new MRI showed a subacute haemorrhage into a small brainstem cavernoma, which must have caused the pain and later on the hypaesthesia. Small vascular malformations are a rare cause of neuropathic facial pain.
