 note = {Post-varicella angiopathy （PVA） is the leading cause of pediatric arterial ischemic cerebral infarction.However, PVA is considered to be underdiagnosed because of the lack of both sensitive diagnostic proceduresand criteria. We, herein, report a case of PVA-associated arterial ischemic stroke diagnosed by MRA. A previouslyhealthy 5-year-old Japanese boy was admitted to our hospital with right facial nerve palsy and right hemiparesis,a transient symptom of ischemic stroke, one month after recovery from chickenpox. The neurological symptomsrecovered completely by conservative therapy. In addition to clinical history, cerebral artery stenosis detected bymagnetic resonance angiography（ MRA） in the recovery phase enabled us to diagnose him with PVA-induced strokedespite no detection of varicella-zoster virus DNA in the cerebrospinal fluid. Thus, MRA findings in the convalescent period are useful in the clinical diagnosis of pediatric PVA-induced stroke.},
