Abstract

A patient with zoster in multiple dermatomes, severe headache, and normal magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and 4-vessel digital subtraction angiogram (DSA) developed 9 anterior circulation aneurysms 2 months later. Antiviral treatment resulted in clinical improvement, size reduction of most aneurysms, and complete resolution of the 2 largest aneurysms.
