摘要：

The authors present a case of meningoencephalitis caused by Varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection, which initially manifested as orbital myositis followed by rapid progression to orbital apex syndrome, meningoencephalitis and death. There was no development of a cutaneous rash. An orbital biopsy demonstrated VZV infection, which was confirmed on a lumbar puncture. In this case, VZV meningoencephalitis was not responsive to steroid or antiviral therapy. This case highlights an atypical presentation of VZV with orbital myositis preceding intracranial involvement.
