[Neuromyelitis optica or Devic disease complicating chickenpox (author's transl)].
In a 8 year-old girl, chickenpox was complicated with opticomyelitis (Devic's disease). In adults, opticomyelitis is often considered as closely related to multiple sclerosis; in children an infectious etiology must be investigated first.
