<p class="abstract">Herpes zoster is a neurocutaneous disease resulting from the reactivation of varicella-zoster virus in dorsal sensory or cranial nerve ganglia. A thorough knowledge of laryngeal zoster is important to diagnose Zoster sine herpete. Case I shows polyneuritic involvement. Case II shows mononeuritic presentation. The clinical picture of laryngeal zoster varies from mucocutaneous lesions and paralysis to that mimicking malignancy leading to missed diagnoses.</p>

These are known as the Infantile form (Santavuori-Haltia), Late infantile form (Jansky-Bielschowsky), Juvenile form (Batten-Spielmeyer-Voght) and the Adult form (Kuph's).An 8 year old Omani girl presented wth myclonic jerks since the age of 4 years, with progressive encephalopathy, mental retardation, ataxia and loss of vision.
