ABSTRACT
A 53-year-old immunocompromised woman developed acute left eye blindness and paraparesis suspected to be due to neuromyelitis optica (NMO). During treatment for NMO, right eye blindness and progressive multiple cranial neuropathies developed. Cerebrospinal fluid polymerase chain reaction (PCR) revealed Varicella zoster virus (VZV). This case emphasizes the importance of considering VZV in individuals, particularly the immunocompromised, presenting with a constellation of neurological signs and symptoms, even in the absence of rash.
