| Abstract: | The syndrome of delayed contralateral hemiparesis following ophthalmic zoster (DCH) is well recognised and has been shown to be due to focal or multifocal vasculitis. The syndrome is typically self-limiting and carries a good prognosis. We report a patient with mandibular zoster and lymphoma, in whom two episodes of contralateral hemiparesis and an ipsilateral central retinal artery occlusion occurred over a fifteen week period. |
