Abstract

In 1907, Ramsy Hunt first described a collection of clinical symptoms presentations including facial paralysis and rash, recognized other frequent symptoms and signs include tinnitus, hearing loss and vertigo caused by varicella-zoster virus (VZV). Later, Djupesland G, et al. reported in 1977 that acute peripheral facial palsy may be involved with cranial polyneuropathy and may be caused by a virus infection. We report a case of cranial nerve palsy due to varicella-zoster virus infection first presently as recurrent nerve palsy. The subject also suffered transient cranial nerve XII involvement on the opposite side that responded well to oral acyclovir and intravenous steroids. We discuss the mechanism of polyneuropathy caused by VZV.<br>
