Scope note: Síndrome caracterizado por parálisis facial asociada a una erupción herpética del conducto auditivo externo. En ocasiones se asocia a acúfenos, vértigo, sordera, otalgia grave e inflamación del pabellón de la oreja. Esta afección está ocasionada por la reactivación de una infección latente por HERPESVIRUS 3 HUMANO, que produce inflamación de los nervios facial y vestibular y que ocasionalmente puede afectar a otros nervios craneales.

Scope note: A syndrome characterized by facial palsy in association with a herpetic eruption of the external auditory meatus. This may occasionally be associated with tinnitus, vertigo, deafness, severe otalgia, and inflammation of the pinna. The condition is caused by reactivation of a latent HERPESVIRUS 3, HUMAN infection which causes inflammation of the facial and vestibular nerves, and may occasionally involve additional cranial nerves. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p757)
