Clinical recognition of varicella zoster virus vasculopathy
1Department of Neurology, Barrow Neurological Institute, Phoenix, Ariz., USA.
Introduction:
It is important to recognize acutely evolving ischemic stroke attributable to reactivation of varicella zoster virus vasculopathy since antiviral agents are effective.
Methods:
Three cases seen by the author over a 2-year period are highlighted.
Results:
All patients presented with an evolving arterial or venous ischemia in the background of postherpetic neuralgia proceeding for weeks to months.
Conclusion:
Chronic neuralgic pain in a dermatomal distribution of an evolving central nervous system vasculopathy is an important clue to its recognition.

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above the...
