[Ramsay Hunt syndrome (RHS) is a rare
neurological disorder characterized by
paralysis of the facial nerve (facial palsy)
and a rash affecting the ear or mouth.
Ear abnormalities such as ringing in
the ears (tinnitus) and hearing loss
may also be present.
Ramsay Hunt syndrome is caused by
the varicella zoster virus (VZV),
the same virus that causes chickenpox in
children and shingles (herpes zoster) in adults.
In cases of Ramsay Hunt syndrome,
previously inactive (dormant) varicella-zoster
virus is reactivated and spreads
to affect the facial nerve.]
