Abstract
Herpetic laryngitis is a rare inflammatory disease caused by herpes simplex or herpes zoster virus. The propensity for spreading along peripheral nerves and within the central nervous system, with frank herpetic meningoencephalitis, is a rare complication. We present one case of herpetic laryngitis by reactivation of varicella zoster, with central nervous system spreading, and discuss the relevant literature on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, evaluation, and management of this disease.Entities:
