Acute cerebellar swelling in varicella encephalitis.

Abstract:

:A 4-year-old male developed encephalitis 2 weeks after the onset of varicella. During his evaluation neuroradiologic procedures documented cerebellar edema and demyelination. Cerebrospinal fluid titers confirmed varicella encephalitis. To our knowledge, this patient is the first reported with focal cerebellar edema, an expected finding, with a clinical varicella infection as documented by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
