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-Barre

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.
