Ramsay Hunt syndrome (RHS), a Varicella Zoster virus infection, can present atypically with oral sores. This case highlights a rare instance of oral RHS with concurrent, asymptomatic viral meningitis.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Ramsay Hunt syndrome (RHS) involves Varicella Zoster virus infection of the facial nerve's geniculate ganglion.
  • Classic RHS presents with facial nerve palsy, ear pain, and ear canal rash, but oral involvement can occur.

Observation:

  • This case report details a patient with an atypical oral manifestation of Ramsay Hunt syndrome.
  • The patient also presented with concurrent, asymptomatic viral meningitis, a rare complication.

Findings:

  • Ramsay Hunt syndrome can exhibit unusual presentations, including oral vesicles.
  • Viral meningitis is a potential, though uncommon, complication of RHS, even when asymptomatic.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering atypical presentations of RHS.
  • A thorough neurological examination is crucial for diagnosing RHS and its potential complications like viral meningitis.
  • Increased awareness of varied RHS manifestations can improve patient outcomes.
