Ramsay hunt syndrome is not just a syndrome but it's rather an infectious disease caused by reactivation of latent varicella-zoster virus in geniculate ganglion. This was first explained by J. Ramsay Hunt as a triad of complications like otalgia, mucosal and cutaneous rashes with or without trigeminal facial palsy. The facial palsy can occur with characteristic vesicles along the path of nerve. We present a case of Ramsay Hunt syndrome in a 48-year-old male. The unilateral pattern of facial involvement and presence of vesicles assisted us for early diagnosis, distinguishing the syndrome with diseases mimicking other severe neurological illnesses and prompt treatment.
拉姆齐·亨特综合征不仅仅是一种综合征，而是由膝状神经节中潜伏的水痘-带状疱疹病毒重新激活引起的一种传染病。这首先由J.拉姆齐·亨特解释为一组并发症，如耳痛、伴有或不伴有三叉神经面瘫的黏膜和皮肤皮疹。面瘫可伴有沿神经路径的特征性水疱。我们报告一例48岁男性的拉姆齐·亨特综合征病例。面部受累的单侧模式和水疱的存在有助于我们早期诊断，将该综合征与模仿其他严重神经系统疾病的疾病区分开来，并及时进行治疗。
