Abstract

We present three cases of lower cranial nerve involvement with herpes zoster. All cases complained of dysphagia owing to X cranial nerve involvement and presented mucosal symptoms of the larynx on one side. In one case, no vesicles were noted in the ear and there was no facial palsy. The others presented VII and VIII cranial nerve involvement in addition to lower cranial nerve involvement.<br>Due to the lower cranial nerve involvement, varicella-zoster infection should be considered as a possible diagnosis.
