[Variants of the Ramsay Hunt syndrome].
Out of 776 patients having polymorphic syndromes caused by herpes simplex or zoster infection 25 patients exhibited Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Altogether 5 clinical variants of the syndrome were recognized. Neurological symptoms and liquor investigations show that the process goes far beyond the ganglion of the facial nerve and therefore can be characterized as multiradiculoganglioneuritis. There are also frequent associated meningeal and encephalitic symptoms. Etiologically, some clinical variants of Ramsay Hunt syndrome arise from herpes simplex infection.
