Abstract:
An 18-year-old woman presented with myelopathic symptoms and a T-8 sensory deficit during a primary varicella infection. There were significant MRI changes in both the cervical and thoracic regions. Following treatment with steroids and intravenous acyclovir, the patient improved clinically and the abnormalities on MRI improved.
