Trigeminal Sinir Dermatomu Yerleşimli Pediatrik Herpes Zoster

Aynı zamanda zona olarak da bilinen herpes zoster, dorsal kök ganglionlarında latent kalan varisella zoster virüsünün reaktivasyonundan kaynaklanmaktadır. Herpes zoster birincil suçiçeği enfeksiyonundan sonra herhangi bir zamanda gelişebilir. Suçiçeği aşısı canlı atenüe bir aşı olduğu için aşıya bağlı herpes zoster de görülebilir. Aktive olmuş virüs kutanöz sinir boyunca yayılarak sinire ait dermatoma uyan ciltte veziküler döküntü ve ağrıya neden olur. Zonada en sık tutulum torasik dermatomda olup, trigeminal sinir ise en sık tutulan kranyal sinirdir. Burada trigeminal sinir tutulumu ile başvuran pediatrik zona olgusu sunulmuştur.

Pediatric Herpes Zoster Located İn The Trigeminal Nerve Dermatome

Herpes zoster, also known as shingles, appears as a vesicular lesion on the skin as a result of the reactivation of varicella zoster virus, which remains latent in the dorsal root ganglia. Herpes zoster can develop at any time after the primary varicella infection or vaccination. It occurs rarely in healthy children and is mostly self-limiting. An eight-year-old female patient without any underlying immunosuppression history or chronic disease was treated with intravenous acyclovir due to the emergence of new rashes and severe pain while receiving oral acyclovir treatment with the diagnosis of herpes zoster with trigeminal nerve involvement. Oral analgesics and topical lidocaine-containing ointment were applied for pain control. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole treatment was given for bacterial superinfection and intravenous acyclovir treatment was applied for 7 days..
