Core Tip	Aseptic meningitis is a rare complication of spinal anesthesia. Herein, we present the case of a patient who developed aseptic meningitis due to reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus after spinal anesthesia for varicose vein stripping surgery. The patient was diagnosed with meningitis caused by varicella-zoster virus based on positive PCR test results and was treated with acyclovir for 5 d. The headache improved, and the patient was discharged without any sequelae. This case highlights the importance of differential diagnosis of post spinal anesthesia headache because viral meningitis due to virus reactivation may cause headache after regional anesthesia.
