[Herpes zoster ophthalmicus with contralateral hemiplegia].
A 57-year-old patient nonimmunosuppressed who had zoster ophthalmicus associated to contralateral hemiplegia is presented. We noticed on the CT scan an infarction of left caudate nucleus, as well as in the angiography signs of vasculitis. We comment on the clinical and diagnosis features and suggest possible benefit effects of the treatment with acyclovir.
