Varicella-zoster (VZ) meningitis is uncommon in patients with immunocompetence and usually presents with typical rash and fever. However, VZ meningitis can rarely present with symptoms of intracranial hypertension without the classic manifestations. Herein, we describe a 17-year-old female teen who presented with intractable headache and vomiting and diagnosed with VZ meningitis. Her symptoms remarkably improved after a lumbar puncture and acyclovir therapy.
