Article Abstract

Ramsay Hunt syndrome (RHS) is an infection with the Varicella Zoster virus in the geniculate ganglion of the facial nerve. The syndrome consists of a triad of peripheral facial nerve palsy, ear pain and concurrent zoster rash in the ear canal. However, vesicles in the mouth can be seen. A rare complication of RHS is viral meningitis. This is a case report of a patient with orally manifested RHS and concurrent asymptomatic viral meningitis. This case aims to raise awareness of RHS with atypical presentation and concurrent viral meningitis and, thereby, the importance of a thorough neurological examination.
