末梢性顔面神経麻痺を呈し，小指と外耳道の紅斑性基底上に有痛性の小水疱性発疹を呈した26歳既往健常男性の1例を報告する。Ramsay Hunt症候群と診断された。プレドニゾロン，アシクロビル，理学療法で改善した．また，顔面脱力症の発症後には，顔面紅斑が出現することもあり，ベル麻痺との鑑別が困難な場合もある．

We report a case of a 26-year-old previously healthy male who presented with peripheral facial nerve palsy and painful vesicular eruptions over an erythematous base on pinna and external auditory canal. A diagnosis of Ramsay Hunt syndrome was made. Patient improved with prednisolone, acyclovir, and physiotherapy. Sometimes it may be difficult to differentiate Ramsay Hunt syndrome from Bell's palsy, as patient may develop vesiscles after the onset of facial weakness.
