“…It would be more likely that the facial paralysis was caused by the VZV reactivation. Although the patient did not show hearing loss, or vesicular eruptions in external ear canal, concha, or pimma, which is a dermatome of the geniculate ganglion, a combination of facial paralysis and upper cervical zoster has been recognized as a subgroup of Ramsay Hunt syndrome [7, 8] and speculated to be caused by the simultaneous reactivation of latent VZV in multiple sensory ganglia or the spread of infection through meningeal inflammation to adjacent ganglia [8]. …”

The association of mumps with peripheral facial paralysis has been suggested, but its pathogenesis remains unclear. An 8-year-old girl simultaneously developed left peripheral facial paralysis, ipsilateral cervical herpes zoster, and bilateral mumps sialadenitis. Elevated anti-mumps and anti-varicella zoster virus IgM antibodies in serological testing indicated recent infection of mumps and reactivation of VZV. Molecular studies have provided mounting evidence that the mumps virus dysregulates the host's immune system and enables the virus to proliferate in the infected host cells. This dysregulation of the immune system by mumps virus may have occurred in our patient, enabling the latent VZV infection to reactivate.

“…Kelly (10) described a contralateral facial palsy with a probable zoster oticus. A case presented previously by us had a contralateral facial palsy with left cervical zoster (14). Parker (13) re ported ipsilateral facial, glossopharyngeal pal sies and a contralateral vagus palsy with left trigeminal zoster.…”

A 71-year-old man developed a facial diplegia following right ophthalmic zoster. Neurological examination also revealed loss of reflexes in the lower limbs with increase of CSF protein. Unusual cases of the Ramsay Hunt syndrome and Guillain-Barre syndrome seen with herpes zoster were reviewed. These cases including our case may suggest that the bilateral involvement or its wider spread throughout nervous tissue can rarely occur in the Ramsay Hunt syndrome and its subgroups.
