Resumos

Os autores relatam um caso de mielopatia pós-varicela, realçando a pouca freqüência desta manifestação. A evolução foi favorável. O traçado eletrencefalográfico evidenciou ondas de sofrimento cerebral embora o paciente não apresentasse manifestações clínicas encefálicas. Os autores conseguiram coletar na literatura disponível apenas 20 casos semelhantes.

A case of myelopathy following varicella is reported. Althoug the eletroencephalografic paterns were abnormal, with spikes and delta waves, no clinical manifestations of cerebral involvement were present. The course of the disease was favorable. In the available literature the authors were able to find 20 similar cases.
