Ramsay Hunt syndrome (RHS) occurs due to reactivation of latent Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) infection in the geniculate ganglion of the facial nerve. Major clinical symptoms include ipsilateral facial paralysis, otic pain, and herpetic vesicles (rashes) along the nerve with accompanying ear pain. Rarely clinical findings include retrograde transaxonal spread of the virus from the ganglion into the brain parenchyma with developing the encephalitis or multiple cranial nerve involvement. We describe here a patient with both RHS along with complicating brainstem encephalitis developed due to the coinfection of VZV and EBV.
拉姆齐亨特综合征（RHS）是由于面神经膝状神经节中的潜伏水痘带状疱疹病毒（VZV）再激活引起的。主要的临床症状包括同侧面部瘫痪、耳部疼痛和沿神经分布的疱疹（皮疹），伴有耳部疼痛。罕见的临床发现包括病毒从神经节逆行穿过轴突传播到脑实质，导致脑炎或多颅神经受累。我们在这里描述了一例 RHS 患者，同时并发由 VZV 和 EBV 合并感染引起的脑干脑炎。
