  • Title: [Rare care of Ramsay Hunt syndrome associated with herpes zoster of the glossopharyngeal nerve].
    Author: Bluma Z, Lyczak P, Bronowicki E.
    Journal: Neurol Neurochir Pol; 1979; 13(4):439-42. PubMed ID: 481694.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe a rare coexistence of Ramsay Hunt syndrome with glossopharyngeal zoster in a 67-year-old patient. A trial of systematization of the nomenclature of Ramsay Hunt syndrome is suggested, on the basis of certain anatomophysiological data. It is concluded that in zoster involvement of the sensory elements in the geniculate ganglion and in otic ganglion should be accompanied by taste sensitivity disturbances, but often the patients fail to notice these disturbances and routine taste testing shows also no such tase impairment. Routine use of electrogustometry is postulated since this makes possible diagnostic-prognostic assessment followed by selection of appropriate treatment.
