Resumo: | Ramsay Hunt syndrome, known as Herpes zoster oticus, is a rare neurological condition due to the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) in the geniculate ganglion of the seventh cranial nerve. The triad is composed of vesicula-pustule-crusted lesions in the ear and external auditory canal, lagophthalmos, and ipsilateral paralysis. Diagnosis is clinical and drug treatment is with antivirals and corticosteroids. The objective of this work is to report a case of Ramsay Hunt Syndrome and reinforce the importance of early diagnosis to minimize neurological damage. Final considerations: It is important to highlight that although the triad findings appeared late, this did not affect the diagnosis and treatment of the patient, who today presents a significant improvement in symptoms and quality of life. |
