-Abstract-
Ramsey Hunt Syndrome occurs when herpes zoster afters the facial nerve. It causes
vesicular eruption of the pinna, external auditory meaturs and ear drum, severe otalgia
with associated facial paralysis and vertigo. We experienced a case of Ramsey Hunt
syndrome and managed it with repeated sympathetic blocks using a stellate ganglion
block.
We achieved early resolution of the eruption, relief of pain and prevention of
postherpetic neuralgia. We concluded that SGB was effective treatment against Ramsey
Hunt Syndrome.
