Acute laryngitis is an acute inflammatory condition of the larynx with either infectious or non-infectious etiology. Although acute laryngitis is clinically diagnosed and usually self-limiting disease, attention should be given to diagnosis and treatment in atypical cases. Branch of the vagus nerve innervates each side of the larynx providing sensory function. Therefore, acute laryngitis can be clinically similar to herpes zoster infection of the larynx when varicella zoster virus (VZV) affects the vagus nerve. A significant diagnostic finding of herpes zoster of the vagus nerve (VHZ) is unilateral vesicular eruption of the larynx as observed by laryngoscopy. However, VHZ is not typically suspected because of its rare occurrence. Thus, understanding vagus nerve function and the manifestations of VHZ are important for proper diagnosis. Herein, we report a case of VHZ that initially presented with acute laryngitis followed by vocal fold paresis.
