Hutchinson Sign - Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus Vesicles on the tip of the nose, or vesicles on the side of the nose, precedes the development of ophthalmic herpes zoster. This occurs because the nasociliary branch of the trigeminal nerve innervates both the cornea and the lateral dorsum of the nose as well as the tip of the nose. via Dr. Haney Mallemat @CriticalCareNow #Hutchinsons #Sign #Herpes #Zoster #Ophthalmicus
