    Author: Bilal S, Iqbal M, O'Moore B, Alam J, Suliman A.
    Journal: Ir J Med Sci; 2011 Jun; 180(2):603-4. PubMed ID: 19711018.
    Abstract:
    We describe a 90-year-old woman with right upper limb monoparesis secondary to varicella zoster virus infection as a result of extensive inflammatory involvement of the entire brachial plexus at root level. To our knowledge, this is the first report of entire brachial plexus involvement in a living patient of such advanced age. Despite a delay in presentation and thus initiation of treatment, a favourable clinical response was observed.
