Abstract

|
Ramsay Hunt syndrome is peripheral facial nerve palsy accompanied by an erythematous vesicular rash on the ear. It is known that varicella zoster virus causes Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Compared with that of Bell``s palsy, patients with Ramsay Hunt syndrome often have more severe paralysis and less likely to recover completely. This study is a clinical case report that shows the Korean medical treatment has an improving effect on Ramsay Hunt syndrome. In general, herpes zoster and facial palsy occur simultaneously at onset in patients with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. In this case, herpes zoster occurs 14 days after facial palsy. The patient was treated by acupuncture and physiotherapy. It took 63 days for H-B scale to be improved into grade II from grade VI.
