The possible association of pseudotumor cerebri and varicella infection was previously mentioned in a few case reports. In those cases, the history and clinical features of active varicella were obvious, and signs were directly related to the varicella infection. We describe three immunocompetent children with pseudotumor cerebri as the only manifestation of Varicella zoster virus reactivation, with a review of the literature. We suggest considering Varicella zoster virus in children with pseudotumor cerebri, even in the absence of a history of recent varicella infection.
先前在少数病例报告中提到过假性脑瘤与水痘感染之间可能存在关联。在这些病例中，水痘的病史和临床特征明显，症状与水痘感染直接相关。我们描述了 3 例免疫功能正常的儿童，其表现为假性脑瘤，是水痘带状疱疹病毒再激活的唯一表现，同时回顾了相关文献。我们建议即使在没有近期水痘感染史的情况下，也要考虑水痘带状疱疹病毒感染是儿童假性脑瘤的病因之一。
