Abstract

The orbital apex syndrome is defined by the association of visual loss, ophtalmoplegia, blepharoptosis, proptosis along with forehead and upper eyelid anesthesia. This syndrome is secondary to traumatism, malignancy or infection of orbital apex. Herpes zoster is an uncommon cause. We discuss the physiopathologic mechanism, evolution and management of this affection.
