Abstract

|
|
Reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus along the distribution of the sensory nerves innervating the ear, which usually includes the geniculate ganglion. When associated with facial paralysis, the infection is called Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Typically, Ramsay Hunt syndrome involves facial nerve unilaterally. Rarely other cranial nerves may be affected. We report a 60-year-old female who developed a right facial palsy, vesicle on the face, and deviation of the tongue to the right. Symptoms disappeared after intravenous treatment with acyclovir and prednisolone. This case shows that Ramsay Hunt syndrome with ipsilateral hypoglossal nerve involvement.
