Ramsay Hunt syndrome (RHS) is a disorder characterized by herpetic eruptions on the auricle, facial paralysis, and vestibulocochlear dysfunction and is attributed to varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection in the geniculate ganglion. Although it is a common cause of acute peripheral facial paralysis, children are not usually affected. The diagnosis is based on history and physical findings. Treatment of RHS uses a combination of high-dose corticosteroids and acyclovir. This paper presents three cases diagnosed as RHS in the pediatric age group in association with the literature review. The aim of this paper is to emphasize the importance of careful examination and early initiation of therapy in suspected cases of RHS.
拉姆齐·亨特综合征（RHS）是一种以耳廓疱疹、面瘫和前庭蜗神经功能障碍为特征的疾病，由膝状神经节中的水痘-带状疱疹病毒（VZV）感染引起。虽然它是急性周围性面瘫的常见病因，但儿童通常不受影响。诊断基于病史和体格检查结果。RHS的治疗采用大剂量皮质类固醇和阿昔洛韦联合使用。本文结合文献复习，介绍了3例儿科年龄组诊断为RHS的病例。本文旨在强调在疑似RHS病例中仔细检查和早期开始治疗的重要性。
