ABSTRACT

Herpes Zoster Oticus described a virus caused by facial nerve paralysis associated with herpetic eruption of the pinna and suggested that it resulted from a geniculate ganglionitis. However, this condition represents a polycranial neuronitis and not simply a geniculate ganglionitis. We here present a Herpes Zoster Oticus case with multiple cranial nerves involvement and discussed with literature.

ÖZET

Herpes Zoster Otikus; virüs kaynaklı bir genikulat ganglion inflamasyonuyla kulak kepçesinde herpetik döküntü ile ilişkili fasiyal paralizi olarak tanımlanmıştır. Bununla birlikte bu durum sadece bir genikulat ganglion inflamasyonunu değil polikranial bir nöriniti temsil eder. Burada multipl kranial sinir tutulumu ile birlikte herpes zoster otikus olgusu literatür eşliğinde tartışıldı.

Keywords: Herpes Zoster Oticus, geniculate ganglion, polycranial neuronitis
