ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Se presentó paciente masculino de 68 años de edad, con antecedentes de síndrome de Parkinson posinfarto cerebral isquémico antiguo e hipertensión arterial sistémica, con la intensión de describir la experiencia del diagnóstico y tratamiento del síndrome de Ramsay Hunt. El paciente acudió a consulta de Medicina Interna del Policlínico Universitario "Omar Ranedo Pubillones", Guantánamo, por presentar dolor en hemicara izquierda y otalgia homolateral, cefalea y febrícula. Luego, presentó lesiones vesiculosas de aspecto herpético. Se concluyó el diagnóstico definitivo de síndrome de Ramsay Hunt tipo II y se remitió a consulta de Otorrinolaringología, donde se confirmó el diagnóstico. Luego del tratamiento evolucionó satisfactoriamente. Aunque el síndrome de Ramsay Hunt no es un problema de salud, se revela la necesidad de que el médico del nivel primario de atención a la salud se familiarice con las bases teóricas para su diagnóstico y se connota la importancia de la evaluación interdisciplinaria para esta finalidad.

Patient presented to his primary health physician at the Univirsity Clinic "Omar Ranedo Pubillones" in Guantanamo, presenting pain in right side of the face and earache, headache and fever. Then, he presented vesicular lesions with a herpetic appearance. It was concluded the definitive diagnosis of Ramsay Hunt syndrome type II and it was referred to Otolaryngology consultation, where the diagnosis was confirmed.
