2024年7月19日 · Herpes zoster oticus, also known as Ramsay Hunt Syndrome or Ramsay Hunt Syndrome type II, is a common complication of shingles. Shingles is an infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which is the virus that causes chickenpox.

Herpes zoster oticus is an uncommon manifestation of herpes zoster that affects the 8th cranial nerve ganglia and the geniculate ganglion of the 7th (facial) cranial nerve. Herpes zoster (shingles) is reactivation of varicella-zoster virus infection.

Ramsay Hunt syndrome, or herpes zoster oticus, occurs when the varicella-zoster virus (shingles) reactivates and spreads to the facial nerves near your inner ear. The varicella-zoster virus is the same virus that causes chickenpox and shingles (herpes zoster).

2023年8月28日 · Ramsay Hunt syndrome, also known as herpes zoster oticus, is a late complication of varicella-zoster virus infection that results in inflammation of the geniculate ganglion of cranial nerve VII.

2025年3月10日 · Herpes zoster oticus (HZ oticus), also termed Ramsay Hunt syndrome, represents a rare clinical manifestation of herpes zoster where the reactivated varicella-zoster virus (VZV), initially...

Herpes zoster oticus also known as Ramsay Hunt syndrome is a rare complication of herpes zoster in which reactivation of latent varicella zoster virus infection in the geniculate ganglion causes otalgia, auricular vesicles, and peripheral facial paralysis. Ramsay Hunt syndrome is rare in children and affects both sexes equally.

Herpes zoster oticus is caused by varicella zoster virus which infects and then remains latent in dorsal root ganglia. Reactivation causes a vesicular eruption along the dermatome of affected nerves. The first symptom is usually otalgia followed by blistering of the concha.

• Herpes zoster oticus is a specific form of herpes zoster that often presents with pre-eruptive (“pre-herpetic”) pain, allodynia, burning, or itching generally localized to the ear and mastoid region. Facial palsy may precede, occur simultaneously with, or follow erythematous maculopapular rash in herpes zoster oticus.

Herpes zoster oticus is a herpes zoster virus infection of the clusters of nerve cells (ganglia) that control the nerves responsible for hearing and balance (8th cranial nerve) and for facial movement (7th cranial nerve). Herpes zoster (shingles) is infection that results from a reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, which causes chickenpox.
