Abstract
A boy, 4 years, 9 months of age, presented with acute hemiplegia, leth argy, ataxia, and dysarthria 24 hours prior to the eruption of typical varicella exanthem. Magnetic resonance imaging findings were typical of multiple cerebral ischemic infarcts. It is suggested that during th e period of secondary viremia varicella tester virus invaded the cereb ral blood vessels causing vasculopathy and cerebrovascular infarcts.
