“…We diagnosed the patients as having Ramsay Hunt syndrome when they had symptoms of eighth nerve dysfunction (tinnitus, hearing loss and vertigo) and a vesicle on an external auditory meatus or auricle including symptoms of seventh nerve dysfunction. We diagnosed the patients as having Bell's palsy when they initially had only symptoms of seventh nerve dysfunction with no vesicle on an external auditory meatus or auricle [9]. Moreover, we diagnosed the patients as having atypical Bell's palsy when they had symptoms of eighth nerve dysfunction (tinnitus, hearing loss and vertigo) with no vesicle on an external auditory meatus or auricle including symptoms of seventh nerve dysfunction.…”

“…However the causes include microcirculatory failure of the vasonervorum, viral infection, ischemic neuropathy, autoimmune reactions surgical procedure such as local anesthesia tooth extraction, infections osteotomies, preprosthethic procedures, excision of tumors or cysts, surgery of TMJ and surgical treatment of facial fractures and cleft lip/palate. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Recently, attention has been focused on infection with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) as a possible causative since its titers has found to be elevated in affected patients. But studies have failed to isolate viral DNA in biopsy specimens and hence remain a question.…”

Bell's palsy is a unilateral, lower motor neuron weakness of the facial nerve. Facial dysfunction has a dramatic effect on a patient's appearance, psychological wellbeing and quality of life. Bell's palsy has been described in patients of all ages, and is more common in adults than in children.The causes of the paralysis still remain unknown. Establishing the correct diagnosis is imperative and choosing the correct treatment options can optimize the likelihood of recovery. Hence this review deals with etiology, signs and symptoms, diagnosis and treatment management for Bell's palsy.

“…RHS'de ise fasiyal fonksiyonları tam kayıp olan hastaların sadece %10'unda tam iyileşme olurken, kısmi kayıplarda bu oran yaklaşık olarak %66'dır. [2,13,14] Ramsay Hunt Sendromunda en etkin tedavi yöntemi, varisella zoster virüslerinin replikasyonunu önlemeye yönelik antiviraller ile antienflamatuvar ve antiödema-töz etkileri nedeniyle sistemik steroidlerin kombine kullanımıdır. Asiklovir, valasiklovir, famsiklovir gibi antiviral ajanların özellikle ilk 72 saatte başlanması tedavinin etkinliği bakımından önemlidir.…”
