Abstract:
Two cases of ophthalmic zoster are reported in which several weeks after the appearance of skin changes hemiplegia developed. In one case the clinical course was unfavourable, and on autopsy extensive vasculitis was found in the brain with ischaemic foci situated mainly on the side of zoster. In the second case with favourable outcome CT demonstrated ischaemic foci probably of vascular origin, again on the side of zoster.
