多発脳神経障害を伴ったハント症候群

抄録

Ramsay Hunt syndrome is characterized by facial nerve paralysis, herpetic vesicles around the ear and pain. It is often associated with VIII cranial nerve involvement. This syndrome can affect other cranial nerves, so it is thought to be a cranial polyneuropathy caused by the varicela zoster virus. We report 3 cases of Ramsay Hunt syndrome with involvement of VII, VIII, IX, X cranial nerves.
