We present a case of VZV infection of the external ear (cranial nerve V), pharynx and larynx with neuropathy of three ipsilateral lower cranial nerves (IX, X, XII). The patient's paresthesia was reduced after antiviral therapy and oral steroids. By the end of one month follow-up, the patient showed normal movement of vocal cord, soft palate and tongue.
