Multiple brain infarcts after orbital inflammation.
A 75-year-old woman developed trigeminal varicella-zoster virus infection complicated by ophthalmoplegia, and visual loss followed by recurrent cerebral infarctions involving small and large intracranial arteries. Medical therapy improved her ophthalmoplegia, but she developed a right hemiparesis and aphasia.
