Abstract

Ramsay Hunt syndrome is the later sequel of the virus varicella-zoster (chicken pox) and shows geniculate ganglion involvement. The virus involved in this syndrome is Herpes Zoster and the infection is commonly called SHINGLES. It includes vesicular rash on ear and mouth, ear pain, and facial paralysis. So it is necessary to perform early diagnosis and treatment. Symptoms like tinnitus, hearing loss, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, and nystagmus are seen in a few cases. There are slight differences in facial paralysis in Bell's palsy and Ramsay Hunt syndrome. If left untreated or delayed diagnosis results in permanent damages like hearing loss, muscle weakness.
