title: [Therapy of facial paralysis in herpes zoster oticus with acyclovir].
abstract: In the present study patients suffering from facial nerve palsy caused by a herpes zoster oticus were treated with aciclovir. After therapy all patients could be controlled via clinical grading system and electromyographic observations. Aciclovir therapy did not yield any results superior to those obtained with other forms of therapy presented in the literature.
