title: The syndrome of cerebral infarction following herpes zoster ophthalmicus.
abstract: Delayed contralateral hemiparesis following herpes zoster (HZ) ophthalmicus is an unusual but distinct clinical entity, presumably caused by HZ-induced arteritis with subsequent cerebral infarction. We report a case showing typical clinical and angiographic findings.
