ABSTRACT
Ramsay Hunt syndrome, also known as herpes zoster oticus is usually caused by reactivation of preexisting varicella zoster virus in the geniculate ganglion. Here we report a case of herpes zoster oticus masquerading as lateral pontomedullary syndrome occurring during the pre-eruptive phase of chicken pox. The case is being reported for its rare and unusual clinical presentation.
