Characteristics of hearing loss in patients with herpes zoster oticus.

Only registered users can translate articles

Patients with herpes zoster oticus (HZO) may commonly show symptoms associated with 7th and 8th cranial nerve (CN VII and CN VIII) dysfunction. The aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics of hearing loss in patients with HZO and discuss possible mechanisms.Ninety-five HZO patients

The incidence of high-frequency hearing loss after microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, or geniculate neuralgia.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and discuss the pathogenesis of high-frequency hearing loss (HFHL) after microvascular decompression (MVD) for trigeminal neuralgia (TGN), glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN), or geniculate neuralgia (GN). METHODS The authors

Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials' Diagnostic Accuracy for Hearing Loss: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Background Microvascular decompression (MVD) utilizes brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) intraoperative monitoring to reduce the risk of iatrogenic hearing loss. Studies report varying efficacy and hearing loss rates during MVD with intraoperative monitoring. Objectives This study aims to

Clinical manifestations in patients with herpes zoster oticus.

Only registered users can translate articles

Patients with herpes zoster oticus (HZO) may exhibit diverse symptoms regarding cochleovestibular dysfunction. This study investigated the clinical manifestations of HZO by comparing symptoms associated with dysfunctions of the 7th and 8th cranial nerves (CN VII and VIII, respectively). This study

Molecular temporal bone pathology: II. Ramsay Hunt syndrome (herpes zoster oticus).

Only registered users can translate articles

In 1907 J. Ramsay Hunt suggested that herpes zoster oticus resulted from a geniculate ganglionitis; however, many contemporary authors believe that this disorder represents a neuritis or polycranial neuropathy. Herpes varicella-zoster viral (VZV) DNA was identified, using the polymerase chain

Herpes zoster oticus-diagnosis and treatment.

Only registered users can translate articles

Four cases of Herpes Zoster Oticus (HZO) with facial paralysis are presented. HZO is a Herpes Zoster viral infection of the Geniculate Ganglion of the facial nerve. It presents classically with severe otalgia, a vesicular rash in the Concha or on the Pinna of the affected ear in association with a

[T-lymphocyte subpopulation and HLA-DR antigens in hearing loss of vestibular neuropathy, Ménière's diseases and Bell's palsy].

Only registered users can translate articles

In patients with various otoneurological diseases like hearing loss, neuronitis vestibularis, Ménière's disease and Bell's palsy, analyses concerning the immunoregulation and immunogenetics were done. For analysing the immunoregulation the T-helper (CD4) T-suppressor (CD8) ratio was determined. In

[Herpes zoster oticus -- neuropathologic contribution to the genesis of concomitant facial paralysis (author's transl)].

Only registered users can translate articles

A woman of 71 years suffered from herpes zoster oticus, 7th and 10th nerve paralysis, vertigo and hearing loss; she died after 5 weeks. Neuropathologic examination revealed intensive inflammation in the pons and medulla oblongata and necrotizing arteritis in the cerebello-pontine angle,

Statistical analysis of pure tone audiometry and caloric test in herpes zoster oticus.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Pure tone audiometry and caloric test in patients with herpes zoster oticus were performed to determine the biologic features of the varicella zoster virus (VZV) and the pathogenesis of vestibulocochlear nerve disease in herpes zoster oticus. METHODS A retrospective chart review of 160

Herpes zoster oticus with meningitis masquerading as malignant otitis externa.

Only registered users can translate articles

This is a case of an 85-year-old woman whom was admitted with otalgia and an abducens nerve palsy alongside a Pseudomonas otitis externa; she was presumed to have malignant otitis externa. However, despite optimum treatment and resolution of her otitis externa, she went on to develop an ipsilateral

Geniculate neuralgia: the surgical management of primary otalgia.

Only registered users can translate articles

Intractable, unexplained deep-ear pain presents a rare, albeit significant problem in otolaryngological and neurosurgical practice. The authors review their experience with 18 cases of primary otalgia during the past 15 years. A total of 31 surgical procedures were performed. Seventeen patients had

Microsurgical treatment of intractable hemifacial spasm.

Only registered users can translate articles

Ten patients with intractable hemifacial spasm were treated by posterior fossa exploration and microsurgical technique. These patients have been followed 1 to 5 years. The spasmodic motor disorder was related to compression of the 7th nerve or its exit zone at the brain stem by a dolichoectatic

Ramsay Hunt Syndrome

Only registered users can translate articles

Ramsay Hunt syndrome, also known as herpes zoster oticus or geniculate zoster, is a rare condition that manifests as a complication of the Varicella zoster virus (VZV) that arises in the geniculate ganglion of cranial nerve CVII. Early stages of the VZV infection cause fever and diffuse

[Gadolinium and contrast medium MRI of the acoustic nerve in patients with meningeal neuritis and acoustico-facial syndrome].

Only registered users can translate articles

Twelve cases of vestibular neuritis were investigated in gradient echo MRI with gadolinium. Only 3 severe cases associated with an acoustico facial syndrome (2 cases of herpes zoster oticus and one case after influenzae) demonstrated focal enhancement within the internal auditory canal on post

Bilateral Ramsay Hunt syndrome in a diabetic patient.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND: Herpes zoster oticus accounts for about 10% cases of facial palsy, which is usually unilateral and complete and full recovery occurs in only about 20% of untreated patients. Bilateral herpes zoster oticus can sometime occur in immunocompromised patients, though incidence is very rare.
