Background: This study aimed to describe the clinical features of patients with orbital apex syndrome (OAS) as a complication of herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) and to identify factors associated with poor visual acuity outcomes. Methods: We performed a systematic review and retrospective analysis of the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with OAS secondary to HZO reported in the literature over 42 years (1978-2020). Results: We analysed 21 cases, 20 of which were identified in the literature, together with our patient. Their median age was 65 years, with equal involvement in both sexes. The median onset of OAS due to HZO was 10 days (range 1-28 days). The median time of treatment initiation was five days (range 1-21 days). All patients presented with reduced visual acuity, complete ophthalmoplegia, and ptosis. Most patients (17/21, 80.95%) were treated with systemic antiviral and corticosteroid therapy. Three (3/21, 14.29%) patients were immunocompromised. Recovery for ophthalmoplegia (19/21, 90.48%) and ptosis (16/21, 76.19%) was good. Half of the patients (9/18, 50%) showed poor vision recovery. Starting treatment more than 72 h after HZO onset (p = 0.045) was more likely to cause poor vision recovery. Conclusion: OAS is a rare, serious, and potentially late complication of HZO and continued observation up to and perhaps beyond four weeks is justifiable, if not encouraged. Early initiation of treatment with systemic antiviral and/or corticosteroids within 72 h of onset of HZO appears beneficial for the recovery of visual acuity.
