A 35-year-old previously healthy woman developed left hemiparesis sixteen weeks after the onset of right herpes zoster ophthalmicus. Cerebral angiography showed complete occlusion of right middle cerebral artery at the origin and segmental narrowing of the right posterior cerebral artery. Computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) also revealed a right hemispheric lesion consistent with angiographic findings. Reports from the literature along with the present case suggest that arteritis followed by cerebral infarction is the most probable cause of delayed contralateral hemiparesis.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D005260 Female Females
D006429 Hemiplegia Severe or complete loss of motor function on one side of the body. This condition is usually caused by BRAIN DISEASES that are localized to the cerebral hemisphere opposite to the side of weakness. Less frequently, BRAIN STEM lesions; cervical SPINAL CORD DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; and other conditions may manifest as hemiplegia. The term hemiparesis (see PARESIS) refers to mild to moderate weakness involving one side of the body.

D006563 Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus Virus infection of the Gasserian ganglion and its nerve branches characterized by pain and vesicular eruptions with much swelling. Ocular involvement is usually heralded by a vesicle on the tip of the nose. This area is innervated by the nasociliary nerve. Herpes Zoster, Ocular,Ocular Herpes Zoster
