[CNS vasculitis after ophthalmic herpes zoster infection].

We present a case of cerebral vasculitis secondary to infection with Varicella Zoster Virus which appeared in a 27 year old patient after a latency period of eight weeks. We emphasize the usefulness of angioresonance as a fitting means of evolutive follow up without the need to carry out control cerebral angiography. We likewise point out the usefulness of acyclovir as the sole treatment necessary in non-complicated cases.
