- Abstract
Ramsay Hunt syndrome, associated with varicella zoster virus infection is characterized by herpes zoster oticus, facial nerve palsy, and cochleovestibular symptoms. Ramsay Hunt syndrome associated cranial polyneuropathy occasionally occurs with involvement beyond VII and VIII. We represent a patient of Ramsay Hunt syndrome who presented with only VI involvement at the first visit followed by cranial polyneuropathy. Varicella zoster virus infection was confirmed by the detection of varicella zoster virus-DNA in cerebrospinal fluid.
