S Sheik-Ali, Y Jiang, H Nasef, E Sproson, O Tuohy
TL;DR
This paper reports a rare case of bilateral Ramsay Hunt syndrome in an immunocompromised adult with sequential symptoms.
Contribution
The novelty lies in documenting a rare occurrence of bilateral sequential Ramsay Hunt syndrome in an immunocompromised individual.
Findings
Bilateral Ramsay Hunt syndrome can present with sequential symptom onset in immunocompromised adults.
The case highlights the importance of considering this condition in patients with bilateral facial weakness.
Abstract
Bilateral Ramsay Hunt syndrome is a rare clinical entity. We present a case of bilateral Ramsay Hunt syndrome in an immunocompromised adult, with sequential symptom onset. It is important to consider this as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with bilateral lower motor neuron facial weakness.
