[Ophthalmoplegia interna after varicella].
We present the case of a 5 1/2 year old girl. 14 days after the onset of the typical rash, the right pupil was dilated and fixed to light. Her manifest refraction was O.D. +1.0 dpt. No signs of iridocyclitis could be found, the fundus was normal. One year later, the pupil of the right eye was still dilated, whereas accommodation had slightly improved (+0.5 dpt). Internal ophthalmoplegia complicating chickenpox is rare, 13 cases have been reported so far.
