title: Ramsay Hunt syndrome revisited.
abstract: Varicella-zoster infections commonly are seen in clinical practice; however, Ramsay Hunt syndrome caused by reactivation of latent varicella-zoster virus in the geniculate ganglion is rare. We report the case of a 30-year-old woman who developed Ramsay Hunt syndrome and also review the characteristic features of this disease.
