Lateral medullary syndrome following varicella infection.

Sir .—Central nervous system complications of varicella infection have been well documented and involve a spectrum of diseases that includes cerebral and cerebellar encephalitis, encephalomyelitis, polyneuritis, brain purpura, hemorrhagic necrotizing leukoencephalitis, Reye's syndrome, and cerebral infarction. 1-3 These consequences of primary varicella infection are rare, and only six cases of delayed hemiparesis in healthy patients have been reported in the English literature. 4-6 We report the acute onset of lateral medullary syndrome (Wallenberg's syndrome) in a 6-year-old boy 32 days after a primary varicella infection. Although Wallenberg's syndrome is the most common brain-stem complica Left, Magnetic resonance imaging, approximately 5 weeks after the varicella infection. Axial T 2 -weighted image (TR 2000, TE 80, 5-mm slice thickness) at the level of the medulla oblongata. The high T 2 signal in the lateral one third of the medulla is readily identified (arrow).
