Abstract
We report a case of unilateral internal ophthalmoplegia associated wit h varicella zoster in a five-year-old boy. Pupillary dilatation and ac commodative paralysis persist after three years. A brisk reaction to t opical pilocarpine suggests a denervation. Bifocal spectacle correctio n has restored the visual acuity.
