We report what we believe to be the first case of a patient with chickenpox followed by hemiparesis in whom there was angiographic evidence of an associated vasculitis similar to that found with herpes zoster ophthalmicus. Kamholz J, Tremblay G: Chickenpox with delayed contralateral hemiparesis caused by cerebral angiitis. Ann Neurol 18:358-360, 1985 Herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HLO) with delayed contralateral hemiparesis is a well-defined syndrome. Thirty-four cases have been reported in the Englishlanguage literature, and characteristic historical, angiographic, and pathological features have been described (2, 51. A focal cerebral angiitis ipsilateral to the herpes zoster eruption is the cause of the hemiparesis (91.
