    Abstract The neurological disorders caused by Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) in the absence of skin rash are a challenge to the clinician. The presentation varies from acute to subacute to chronic. Reactivation of VZV usually produces zoster (shingles), meningitis or meningoencephalitis, cerebellitis, isolated or multiple cranial nerve palsies (polyneuritis cranialis), myelitis, and vasculopathy. In our case, we report a 41-year-old female presented with right oculomotor, vestibulocochlear and facial neuropathies occurred 1 year before admission and making the diagnosis. There were no skin or mucosa lesions. Magnetic Resonance Imaging revealed multiple subcortical infractions in the right temporal and occipital lobes which consist with silent vasculopathy. The diagnosis was confirmed by the existence of anti-VZV IgG in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

    Abstract Object: An intracranial ependymoma is a relatively rare but very interesting variety of glioma. In this paper, the authors compiled a review of the pathological features, imaging characteristics, and treatment strategies related to this brain tumor.
    Methods: A Medline search was conducted using the term "ependymoma." The bibliographies of papers obtained were also checked for articles and chapters that could provide additional understanding of this tumor. Malignant ependymomas and ependymomas of the spinal cord (including myxopapillary ependymomas) were excluded from this review.
    Conclusions: The posterior fossa is the most frequent site for an intracranial ependymoma. Children are frequently affected. Most authors recommend resecting as much of the tumor as is safely possible. Microscopically, ependymal tumors show both epithelial and glial features. Glial fibrillary acidic protein immunohistochemistry, therefore, helps in identifying ependymomas. Because ependymomas often recur despite surgical intervention, radiotherapy and/or radiosurgery may also play an important role in their treatment. The use of chemotherapy in the treatment of these tumors, especially in the very young, is still being studied.
