Herpes Zoster Oticus (Geniculate Neuralgia)

A syndrome characterized by facial palsy in association with a herpetic eruption of the external auditory meatus. This may occasionally be associated with tinnitus, vertigo, deafness, severe otalgia, and inflammation of the pinna. The condition is caused by reactivation of a latent HERPESVIRUS 3, HUMAN infection which causes inflammation of the facial and vestibular nerves, and may occasionally involve additional cranial nerves. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p757)

10/01/2023 - "The magnetic resonance imaging gadolinium enhancement of 4 cases of Ramsay Hunt syndrome was as follows: 3D-FLAIR sequence delay of 4.5 hours scanning 4 patients labyrinthine and/or middle ear signal was enhanced at the same time as the healthy side; T1VIBE sequence scanning disease in 3 cases of vestibular nerve development was enhanced than the healthy side, 2 cases of facial nerve development was enhanced than the healthy side, and 2 cases of cochlear nerve development was enhanced than the healthy side. "
