Abstract:
Neurological complications caused by varicella-zoster virus, excluding post-herpetic neuralgia and aseptic meningitis, are infrequent and varied. Other complications, which have been described are peripheral motor neuropathy, cranial nerve palsies, meningoencephalitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, myelitis, herpes zoster ophthalmicus with delayed contralateral hemiparesis and Reye syndrome. We present 4 patients with infrequent neurological complications associated with varicella-zoster virus: 3 cases of meningoencephalitis and one case of myelitis.
