Introduction: Chickenpox can be responsible for various ophthalmologic complications [4].
Discussion: An internal ophthalmoplegia could be observed in this context and is responsible for a fixed pupil [2]. This complication is extremely rare and seems to occur mainly in young children during the two weeks following cutaneous eruption. We report an atypical observation of internal ophthalmoplegia due to chickenpox that occurs with a particularly prolonged interval.
Conclusion: We would like to emphasize the consequences of the paralysis of accommodation associated with this tonic pupil on visual acuity.
