ABSTRACT

A Síndrome de Ramsay Hunt é definida por paralisia facial periférica acompanhada de um rash eritematosoe vesicular no pavilhão auricular ou na boca, causado por herpes zoster. Comparado com a paralisia de Bell,os pacientes com Síndrome de Ramsay Hunt geralmente apresentam um quadro de paralisia mais grave e dificilmentese recuperam totalmente. Alguns estudos sugerem que o tratamento com aciclovir e predinisona possa melhorar o prognóstico, entretanto estudos randomizados ainda são necessários. Os autores descrevem um caso desta síndrome acompanhado de ceratopatia de exposição.
