description Acquired palsy of the lateral rectus presents with horizontal diplopia and has a broad differential. Herpes zoster ophthalmicus- (HZO) related cranial nerve palsy is a transient and self-limiting condition.

One should keep in mind that acquired esotropia in the elderly may sometimes present following HZO.
