A 4-year-old male child who presented with right middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction 2 months after varicella is reported from the University of British Columbia, Children's Hospital, Vancouver, Canada
The present case of middle cerebral artery infarction was considered to be a late complication of the mild varicella infection occurring 2 months previously
Summary
A 4-year-old male child who presented with right middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction 2 months after varicella is reported from the University of British Columbia, Children's Hospital, Vancouver, Canada. He awoke from sleep complaining of nausea, vomited, and within 30 minutes developed left facial, arm, and leg weakness that partially resolved over 4 hours. Polymerase chain reaction on brain tissue was negative for varicella After surgery he developed decorticate posturing and a right fixed dilated pupil. Angiography that was followed by an acute deterioration of the stroke, with massive brain swelling and coma, failed to reveal stenosis and beading, signs of vasculitis that were evident in small vessels on pathological examination. Several case reports are cited that demonstrate an association between "idiopathic" arterial strokes in childhood and varicella infection
