Multifocal varicella-zoster virus vasculopathy without rash.
A 51-year-old woman with CREST syndrome (calcinosis, Raynaud phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia) developed stepwise progressive focal neurological deficits without zoster rash. Multifocal ischemic infarcts were seen on magnetic resonance imaging, and cerebral angiography revealed focal stenosis of arteries affecting the intracranial circulation. A brain biopsy...
متن کاملHerpes zoster ophthalmicus and varicella zoster virus vasculopathy.
Herpes zoster (HZ) corresponds to the reactivation of varicella zoster virus (VZV). Among adults, the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve is one of the most common sites of involvement. Vasculopathy caused by HZ is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, affecting structures such as the brain, which can lead to stroke. In this review, we analyzed the epidemiological and cli...
متن کاملVaricella zoster virus vasculopathy: analysis of virus-infected arteries.
OBJECTIVE Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is an under-recognized yet treatable cause of stroke. No animal model exists for stroke caused by VZV infection of cerebral arteries. Thus, we analyzed cerebral and temporal arteries from 3 patients with VZV vasculopathy to identify features that will help in diagnosis and lead to a better understanding of VZV-induced vascular remodeling. METHODS Normal ...
متن کاملVaricella-zoster virus vasculopathy: immune characteristics of virus-infected arteries.
OBJECTIVE Pathologic changes in varicella-zoster virus (VZV)-infected arteries include inflammation, thickened intima, and paucity of smooth muscle cells. Since no criteria have been established for early vs late VZV vasculopathy, we examined inflammatory cells and their distribution in 6 normal arteries, and 2 VZV-infected arteries 3 days after onset of disease (early) and 10 months after prot...
متن کاملThe protean manifestations of varicella-zoster virus vasculopathy.
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) vasculopathy in the central nervous system (CNS) affects large and small cerebral vessels. Large-vessel disease is most common in immunocompetent individuals, whereas small-vessel disease usually develops in immunocompromised patients. In some patients, both large and small vessels are involved. Neurological features are protean. Neurological disease often occurs mo...
