| Abstract: | Ramsay Hunt syndrome is the name given to the condition of facial palsy associated with herpes zoster oticus. This not uncommon entity presents the practitioner with a potentially treatable cause of facial nerve palsy. In the four case reports discussed below symptoms are diverse and include palsy of one to several cranial cranial nerves. Herpetic vesicles around the pinna are an important clue to the diagnosis of this condition. Prompt antiviral therapy has been shown to improve prognosis. |
