title: [Varicella, acute postinfectious arteriopathy and cerebral arterial thrombosis in childhood: a unique clinical and etiologic framework to be fully acknowledged].
abstract: Acute arteriopathies are the etiological factor of 25% of all the cerebral arterial thrombosis cases in childhood; they give way to ischemic strokes which have specific clinical and radiological features; varicella is the etiologic factor in 60% of the cases; favorable outcome is the rule; physiopathology and treatment remain under discussion.
